Daggett1 Boeing Commercial Airplane, Seattle, WA, 98124 Robert C. Hendricks NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH, 44135 Rainer Walther MTU Aero Engines GmbH, Munich, Germany Edwin Corporan Air Force Research Laboratory, Dayton, OH Abstract The engine and commercial aircraft research and development communities have been investigating the practicality of using alternative fuels in near, mid, and far-term aircraft. Presently, it appears that an approach of using a "drop in" jet fuel replacement, which may consist of a kerosene and synthetic fuel blend, will be possible for use in existing and near term aircraft. Future mid-term aircraft may use a bio-jet and synthetic fuel blend in ultra-efficient airplane designs. Future, long-term engines and aircraft in the 50-plus year horizon, may be specifically designed to use a low or zero-carbon fuel. Synthetic jet fuels are manufactured, using a Fischer-Tropsch process, from coal, natural gas or other hydrocarbon
