+<br>It's bad enough for some propeller aircrafts to be referred to as being powered by elastic band. Now the skeptics might begin having a dig at business airplane flying on whatever from [cooking oil](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) to melted algae.<br>
+<br>With the civil air travel market under increasing pressure from rising oil prices and ecological legislation, the race is on to discover feasible alternatives to conventional kerosene and these so far appear to come down to various types of [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>

This was quickly followed by Lufthansa and Air New Zealand who each utilized different blends of regular fuel and bio derivatives including some from made from [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) which can grow in soil considered too bad for growing mainstream foodstuffs.<br>
+<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is a genus of approximately 175 succulent plants, shrubs and trees (some are deciduous, like [Jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price)), from the [household Euphorbiaceae](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889).<br>

It is [resistant](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to dry spell and pests, and produces seeds consisting of 27-40% oil.<br>
+<br>Recently, US aerospace giant Boeing, Brazilian aerial significant Embraer and the Sao Paulo state Research Support Foundation relocated to perform research study and development into the use of biofuels to power jet airliners.
