COI Contributions edit

I have a financial COI with Honeywell in that they’ve recruited me to help them navigate through Wikipedia and COI Best Practices. I'd like to make the following contributions. User:King4057 (COI Disclosure on User Page) 03:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Military Jet Fuels edit

I would like to add a paragraph at the end of the Military Jet Fuels section

 
The US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III was built to perform development testing.
The US Air Force’s C-17 Globemaster III, F-16 and F-15 are certified for use of hydrotreated renewable jet fuels.[1][2] The US Air Force plans to certify over 40 models for fuels derived from waste oils and plants by 2013.[2] The army is considered one of the few customers of biofuels large enough to potentially bring biofuels up to the volume production needed to reduce costs.[2] The US Air Force has also flown a Green Hornet fighter at 1.7 times the speed of sound using a biofuel blend.[2] The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded a $6.7 million project with Honeywell UOP to develop technologies to create jet fuels from biofeedstocks for use by the US and NATO militaries.[3]

Jet Biofuels edit

I would like to add the following at the end of the Jet Biofuels bullets

  • 24 commercial and military biofuel flights have taken place using Honeywell “Green Jet Fuel,” including a Navy F/A-18 Hornet.[4]
