A MH-605 Sea-Hawk Helicopter has been victoriously flown over the River Patuxent by the US Navy in Maryland. The helicopter, belonging to the Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Two One, used a bio-fuel blend extracted from Camelina seeds.

The Navy had tested the fuel on another aircraft, the F/A-18 Super Hornet. The results had revealed that the fuel had shown no harmful effects and its performance was just as it should be during the flight testing.

The testing of this aviation bio-fuel would be carried on throughout 2011 by the Navy with an aim to employ a 50:50 bio-fuel blend in all its aircrafts and ships by the year 2012. This was supposed to be the first ever afterburner test carried out on bio-fuels.

Phillip Cullom, Navy Task Force Energy’s Director remarked that the bio-fuels would give increased energy security to the Navy’s flotilla.
