Which of the engines is getting the 100 percent SAF kerosene? I suspect one of the inner ones. Does it start, sound, smoke or smell any different? Do they use all four engines all the time or is the SAF engine only activated during certain phases of the test flights?

The March 25 flight followed earlier 100% SAF tests on the A350 and A319neo. A380 test aircraft MSN1 conducted the three-hour test flight from Blagnac Airport in Toulouse and used 27 metric tons of unblended SAF produced by Total in Normandy.
