This project investigates the real-world performance of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) through a combination of experimental testing and advanced computational modelling. Using a mini turbojet engine as the testbed, multiple SAF blends were analyzed to observe their effects on thrust, fuel efficiency, and emission characteristics. The experimental data was then fed into a custom-built simulation framework to predict full-scale engine behavior under various flight conditions.

Beyond just testing fuel, this thesis seeks to understand the future of flight—where cleaner combustion meets engineering precision. The outcome offers insights into how SAFs can be scaled for commercial aviation, balancing environmental sustainability with high performance.
