摘要：	Researchers at the Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center Aviation Fuel and Engine Test Facility (AFETF) entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRDA) with Swift Enterprises. Swift has plans to produce a high-octane, nonoxygenated, binary fuel from biomass for spark ignition, piston aircraft engines. Due to the binary nature of the fuel and the use of heavy aromatics, the Swift fuel will require engine and airframe testing to determine the performance effects of noncompliance with the current aviation gasoline specification properties regarding distillation slope. This research was performed on a Swift binary blend, manufactured in a refinery and not in bio-process, to determine whether there were any initial major engine performance-related findings that would prevent further research into the use of a Swift binary blend of these components. It is noted that trace materials found in this Swift binary blend may differ from those that arise from manufacturing of the components from a biomass fermentation process and will probably differ depending on sugar source and bio-enzymes selected. It is recommended that Swift perform additional engine, airframe, and fuel pump rig tests using a fuel made in their biomass process and perform the engine tests using a straight weight mineral oil.
