Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx.
Suggestions for future Aero-Linx
segments are always welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: Sustainable Aviation
Fuel Users Group
The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group was formed in
September 2008 with support and advice from the world's leading
environmental organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense
Council and the Roundtable for Sustainable Biofuels (RSB). The
group is focused on accelerating the development and
commercialization of sustainable aviation biofuels.
All members have signed a Sustainability Pledge, and believe
that a key driver to a carbon neutral industry is advancing and
adopting sustainable aviation biofuels. Sustainable aviation
biofuels will perform equal to, or better than, petroleum based
fuels and will have a carbon neutral lifecycle - production through
use. These fuels:
- Exhibit minimal impact on biodiversity
- Meet a sustainability standard with respect to land, water, and
energy use
- Do not displace or compete with food crops
- Provide a positive socioeconomic impact
- Do not require any special fuel handling equipment,
distribution systems, or changes to engine design
