| 摘要： | As of this writing, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exemption for general aviation from compliance with the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments regarding the use of leaded fuel is still in effect. Recent petitions to the EPA call for either a ban or the study of the health effects of lead in aviation gasoline. It is likely that environmental and cost pressures of using leaded fuels will continue to increase for the general aviation community. Past extensive testing by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center on an unleaded replacement for the current leaded 100 low-lead (100LL) aviation gasoline centered on the petroleum industrys use of specialty chemicals. Significant engine modifications may also be required on the high-compression, legacy fleet for operation on a lower-octane, unleaded fuel, which would likely result in changes to engine and aircraft performance and pilot-operating procedures. FAA testing has confirmed that significant detonation performance differences exist between unleaded and leaded fuels of the same octane. The FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRDA) with Swift Enterprises of Indiana. Under the CRDA, Swift developed a high-octane, high-heat-content, bio-renewable aviation fuel that has the potential for significant reduction in life-cycle CO2 emissions and has the potential to be produced inexpensively on a mass scale. The Swift 702 fuel contains no alcohols or oxygenates. |
