The aircraft received financial support from the UK Transport Department.

Richard Branson, the creator of Virgin, was on board along with company representatives, government representatives, engineers, and journalists. "Until you do something, people will always assume that it can't be done," he stated.

The UK Department of Transport donated one million pounds ($1.27 million) to power this aircraft using fossil fuel. Governments have discussed decarbonizing air transport for a long time. The UK government claims that this flight represents a significant advancement in the ecologically friendly tourism industry.
