Speed Record Attempt Using Clean Burning Eco Friendly Bio Mass Derived Fuel
from Aviation Blogs by PlanePilot1 | On September 11, 2010 Smokey Young will establish a new international closed course speed record for piston engine aircraft weighing between 300 and 500 kilograms. The current record of 238 MPH was established in 2004. Smokey Young will make his record breaking flight in the Formula 1 race plane #3.   What is truly innovative about this flight is that the record will be broken using fuel derived from bio mass. The previous record, as well as all speed records within this class were set using leaded aviation gasoline. Smokey's record flight will verify the performance charecteristics of clean buring bio fuel and signals our race teams commitment to exploring eco friendly alternatives to the current blends of aviation gasoline. We hope to continue this program by establishing other speed records and through the exclusive use of bio fuel in Smokey's air show performances… Visit Smokey Youngs Website
