A small airplane will hold 40 or more gallons whereas a jetliner will use of 50,000 gallons of fuel.
Airplane? What airplane? My paper airplane wings weigh less than 8 grams.
Stand on a scale. Figure out how much you weigh. Then pick up the airplane and stand on the scale. Subtract how much you originally weighed, and that is the weight of the airplane.
One gallon of diesel fuel weighs approximately 7.1 pounds. Therefore, 200 gallons of diesel fuel would weigh around 1,420 pounds.
Only military jets can be refuelled while flying. In the case of large jets a fuel transfer of up to 3,000 gallons is common
At least enough to reach your first destination, plus a reserve - small planes flying under visual flight rules can carry 30 minutes reserve fuel, everyone else needs to carry 45 minutes reserve fuel.
5 gallons of rocks, weigh is 41.75
a bunch.
The DC-10 will burn approximately 15000 pounds of fuel per hour at cruise, which is equal to 2143 gallons. Divide by 600 miles = 3.57 gallons per mile.
A Boeing 747 tanks capacity is 54,206 gallons, different models of aircraft would have a different tank capacity.
In many ways such as how much fuel do I need to carry to fly 300 miles. One of the most important things for a pilot to know is how much weight he has on the airplane and, since fuel is figured in weight instead of gallons on a airplane, he probably better know basic algebra and general mathmatics.
A paper airplane? A 747? Cessna?
