did i miss this on mainstream nz tv or have none of the news programs bothered to report something so influential. too wrapped up in their rugby no doubt

i think it may have a problem on the jatropha crude oil, coz it will freeze on low temperature. how did they manage that?

Jatropha is a weed like shrub, fast growing, and can grow in arid, marginal soils that would otherwise not be used. Jatropha is good for the soil, also there are byproducts produced, Glycerin ( for soup making ) and castings/paste that is a good organic fertilizer. I cant blame Boing for being interested in Alt fuels, they didnt do too well the last spike in fuel prices, if people dont fly much, they dont sell planes.

perhaps if you listened to the video, you might of realised they’re getting this from plants

nope, trees won’t be cut. only the fruits produces the bio fuel. . it would help poor countries, especially tropical countries, jatropha plant can last until 40 – 50 years. it’s one way of reforestation, . . for your info.

Go Kiwi
And well done with the Youtube channel, maybe you could put a link in the description to an AirNZ site with more information, then ordinary people like me could help spread the word with an authoritative source behind us. I wouldn’t have known about this test flight if it wasn’t for a friend on Twitter.
I’m also glad to see that Jatropha can be grown on marginal land, well done.
