Summary:Due to different motivations, including the interest in reducing the dependency on fossil fuel and environmental implications, drop-in biofuels are a reality in today's commercial aviation. This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art of biomass-origin kerosene certification and provides references to the commercial flights performed so far by all airlines around the world. Results prove that the normal operation of the flights using the drop-in biofuel do not experience any repercussion in the performance in both engine and maintenance.
