China's ARJ21 regional jet and a C919 large passenger aircraft completed their first demonstration flights using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on Wednesday. SAF is a liquid aviation fuel alternative to traditional jet fuel. It can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80 percent over the fuel's life cycle compared with conventional jet fuel.
