Comments by "Orbital_Inclination" (@Orbital_Inclination) on "RAF Typhoon fighter jet completes first public display on sustainable fuel blend" video.
What nonsense?

Your comment is the joke. The military aren't concentrated on it, they just allowed some of their aircraft to be used as a proof of concept demonstration during sorties that would have happened anyway.

@TheLastCrumb. no, they're not. They do a couple of test flights a year, alongside hundreds of operational sorties and thousands of training sorties

@death_parade relying on US supplies of fuel just adds logistical burden, as we saw in WWII with the huge efforts taken to protect atlantic convoys. This won't ever entirely replace that, but if it reduces the number of tankers needed, that's a win

@death_parade both Russia and China have large submarine fleets capable of inflicting significant damage in that regard

Less than using pure fossil fuels in the engines

Who said anything about war? Having both fossil and sustainable fuels available for use is actually an advantage in conflict, when supply lines are disrupted
2
This provides an additional fuel source for times of war, so it's not exactly a bad thing

@irinashidou9524 no, absolutely no degradation in performance despite what others have suggested

SAF is more expensive than fossil fuel.

The lethality of the Typhoon isn't degraded with this fuel, so no idea what your point is.

@BuddySpike101 performance on SAF isn't any worse than on fossil fuels

What are you on about? No one is saying the RAF are only going to be using SAF from now on. You're having a whinge over something that isn't happening
1
SAF does not affect performance in any way, and means more available fuel sources
