A high-school science teacher is planning to fly a Cessna 182 from coast to coast next month using aviation biofuel made from Camellia plant seed oil. “We’ll use a 50-50 blend of aviation biofuel and Jet A to power the fuel-sipping SMA diesel engine,” said Ross McCurdy, who plans to launch from North Central Airport near Providence, Rhode Island, around April 16, and fly to Santa Monica, California. The blended fuel is a drop-in replacement for Jet A and can be used in jet engines, turboprop engines and aviation diesel engines.
