Where does the 747 store it'd fuel?

Answer 1

All airplanes and helicopters carry fuel in fuel tanks at the longitudinal center of gravity, ie, the wings. If the fuel was stored anywhere else, it would cause the center of gravity of the aircraft to change during flight, making it uncontrollable.

The 747 has fuel tanks in the wings and also in the belly under the wings. It doesn't matter where the engines are, as suggested in another answer - the fuel is ALWAYS stored near the center of gravity. In a commercial airplane (non-military), the center of lift is slightly behind the center of gravity for stability reasons, but the fuel is at the center of gravity, and that means it is stored in the wings or in tanks within the fuselage at or very near the wings.

Answer 2

In several different fuel tanks. these include long-range fuel tanks in the body between the wings and some others such as surge and vent tanks, which are in the wings.

;-D The 747 can take off and land by itself, I think. It is a great plane!

Answer 3

Boeing developed the 747SR as a 'Short Range' variant of the -100. The SR has a lower fuel capacity, but can carry more passengers - up to 498 passengers in early versions and more than 550 passengers in later models. The 747SR has a modified body structure to accommodate the added stress accumulated from a greater number of take-offs and landings. Later on, short range versions were developed also of the -100B and the -300. The SR aircraft are primarily used on domestic flights in Japan. [19]

Two 747-100B/SRs were delivered to Japan Airlines (JAL) with a stretched upper deck to accommodate more passengers. This is known as the "SUD" (stretched upper deck) modification.

All Nippon Airways (ANA) operated 747SR on domestic Japanese routes with 455-456 seats but retired the aircraft on 10 March 2006. JAL operates its 747-100B/SR/SUD aircraft with 563 seats on domestic routes and plans for retirement in the third quarter of 2006. JAL and JALways have also been operating the -300SRs on domestic leisure routes and to other parts of Asia and Australia.

One ex-JAL 747SR-46, registered N911NA, is currently being operated by NASA as a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. (It joined an ex-American Airlines 747-123 in 1988 due to a recommendation from the Challenger inquiry board to have two SCAs, and the aircraft first carried a shuttle in 1991.)

Answer 4

All airplanes store their fuel in the wings. That is why almost all planes have their engines beneath their wings.
But some planes have their turbine and engine near their tail. In this case, the fuel will be stored either in the rear wings or in the rear portion of the plane.

Answer 5

In the wing tanks and belly tanks.
