  • wow...i can imagine how much it will cost for a full tank!

  • Amazingly intricate fuel systems. I wonder how much ground time is required to refuel the entire plane empty.

    That really needs superb ground crew eh?

    Cheers to the Ground Crews!

  • We refuel with max. 3200 liters per minute. We have seperate earth cables that are fixed to the ground on the landing gear closest to us. The tanks in FRA are not underground. Only the supply system is underground to every position. Our dispensers are basically filtering and reducing the flow speed of the fuel from about 10 bar (145psi) to max. 3,5 bar (50psi).

  • I wonder how fast of the refueling speed? how many gallons per minute or a second?

  • @1982FMJ According to the big companies the petroleum supply is assured for the next 50 to 70 years by proved reserves. What is really alarming is the climate change which has more immediate effects.

  • The wings are big enough to put a roof over the heads of about 8000 hungry homeless

  • airplanes must be drinking the worlds oil supply at an alarming rate. Truthly how low are our oil supplies? YOu never really know whether to trust what the oil companies and governments tell us as they might be trying just to scare people when in actual fact we have endless amounts of the stuff. I don't really believe what the oil firms tell the general public via the media. HOw do you know what to believe.

  • @kuyakev $6.30 times the number of gallons in that tank

  • @-@ wish i could afford one of these babes, they are huge, would of like..... go anywhere i could with a full first class plane
