Eyecatchers-207: Plane flies Doon-Delhi on BIOFUEL
Trailblazer: Plane flies Doon-Delhi on biofuel
Saurabh Sinha | TNN | Updated: Aug 28, 2018, 01:39 IST
DEHRADUN: A SpiceJet
A turboprop aircraft named Haldi became India’s first plane carrying passengers to operate on biofuel when it flew from Dehradun to Delhi on Monday, raising hopes for low-emission flights less dependent on increasingly expensive jet fuel.
The biofuel, derived from the jhatropa plant grown by 500 farmer families in Chhattisgarh, was first tested on a 20-minute flight on Haldi with crew only in Dehradun a day earlier.
After the green fuel performed better than expected, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation cleared the first-ever flight with passengers on Monday.
“The flight result showed biofuel had 1.8% higher energy density than regular aviation turbine fuel,” said.

A Thought for Today-743: Ego and the Illusion of Disconnection
Conflicts, fights, wars... all that comes from the ego, from not knowing who we truly are... from being deceived by the illusion of disconnection and separation... instead of connecting with the spirit, the soul, DIVINITY / GOD / LOVE / LIGHT... which is the real thing - Changa Charanga

In part 3 of our special series on
human ancestry, we investigate how closely related we all really are. Basic
math tells us that all humans share ancestors. But you’ll be amazed at how
recently those shared ancestors lived. Thanks to genetic data in the 21st
century, we’re even discovering that we really are all descended from one
mother.
