One Small Step

On Wings of Waste’s mission to use recycled plastic as a fuel source for aviation

Without fuss or fanfare, the single-engined RV-9 homebuilt departed Wollongong, NSW and flew to Tyabb, Victoria on January 12. At face value, there was nothing special about the flight, however, within the fuel tanks and beneath the engine cowling something very special was taking place.

This short flight has now been recognised around the world and its future impact may be far reaching, but for Jeremy Rowsell and his team, even the longest journey begins with a single step.
