Home » FAQs » Transparent Fleet

The segment of the existing fleet of engines and aircraft for which a new fuel is a drop-in is called the “transparent fleet.” Changes such as new or modified hardware, adjustments, or new operating procedures/limitations are not required for the aircraft and engines in the transparent fleet. Still, FAA approval may be required to enable operation under the existing operating limitations.
