LONDON, England (CNN) -- The world's first biofuel-powered commercial aircraft touched down in Amsterdam on Sunday following a demonstration flight from London's Heathrow Airport hailed as a first step towards "cleaner" flying.
The Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 flight was part of a joint initiative with planemaker Boeing and engine manufacturer GE Aviation to develop a "sustainable aircraft fuel." No passengers were onboard.
Virgin Atlantic President Richard Branson said the test flight would help the airline to use clean fuel sooner than expected.

Hey, out there! I have gallons of Castor Bean pods/seeds from last years' 6 plants. Anyone have infor about Castor plants? I've heard that these could become the next bio-fuel source next to good ole Iowa corn! Appreciate any input you may have. Thanks, Rocky
