It's bad enough for some prop airplanes to be described as being powered by [elastic band](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/). Now the [skeptics](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) might start having a dig at industrial airplane flying on whatever from cooking oil to liquefied algae.

Not surprisingly, the very first trials of alternative fuel were initiated by British air travel pioneer, Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Atlantic started London to [Amsterdam flights](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) with limited [biofuel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) use in 2008. This was quickly followed by [Lufthansa](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives consisting of some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) which can grow in soil considered too poor for growing mainstream foods items.

In 2007 Goldman Sachs cited [Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as one of the best prospects for future [biodiesel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) production. It is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds including 27-40% oil.

Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aeronautical significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation moved to perform research and advancement into the use of biofuels to [power jet](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) airliners.
