interest at the air show, given the cost of oil, which rose as high as 135 US dollars last week before retreating somewhat.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Tuesday, crude oil futures rose more than one US dollar to 133.10 US dollars in trading on London's ICE futures exchange.\u003cbr/\u003eDutch airline KLM said on Monday it had signed a contract with AlgaeLink for fuel made from algae for a pilot project whose first test flight is scheduled for the fall.\u003cbr/\u003eAlgaeLink plans to set up a pair of plants this year - in the Netherlands and Spain - and said its algae-based kerosene will be mixed with conventional fuel.\u003cbr/\u003eBut KLM's goal is to fuel its entire fleet with kerosene from algae and other plant-based oils.\u003cbr/\u003eThe show - known formally as the Aerospace Exhibition and Conferences - opens to the public on Friday and lasts until Sunday at Schoenefeld Airport.\u003cbr/\u003eIndustry observers are hoping for clues about market trends and various projects by companies, including airline Deutsche Lufthansa AG; German airport operator Fraport AG; and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., the Franco-German parent of Airbus.\u003cbr/\u003eSome analysts predict a barrel of oil will reach US$150-US$200 in the next year, leading the industry to look toward lighter, more efficient machinery, as well as alternative fuels.\u003cbr/\u003eAirports are trying to streamline operations, reduce bottlenecks and improve efficiency.\u003cbr/\u003eOrganisers of the International Aerospace Exhibit expect more than one-thousand exhibitors from some 40
