Did you know there are airplanes that run on ethanol?

Actually, 80% of the airplanes that fumigate sugarcane plantations run on the ethanol produced from the very same plants they are fumigating.

This lowers operating costs for ethanol plants: something corn producers (which produce ethanol as well) would surely appreciate.

As G100 is discontinued, selling ethanol airplane conversion services, or even whole new ethanol airplanes may be an interesting new business opportunity.

 

But did you know before you read this that there are airplanes running on ethanol?
