The flight is conducted under the auspices of a U.S.-China energy cooperation program launched in 2009, including Air China, PetroChina, Boeing and Honeywell company UOP. The demonstration flight used fuel derived from biomass grown in China, and evaluated the potential for establishing a sustainable aviation biofuel industry in China. [Sina.com]
