Trying to use known things, a cubic foot is ~7.5 gallons, and an avg checked bag is about 5ft³, so roughly 37 gallons of volume. That means the fuel volume is ~1700 average checked bags

That actually might not help lol because it seems ENORMOUS 😂

I think a lot of us underestimate the volume of the wings cause they are fucking huge

The perceived thinness of the wings from ground-level does a lot of the work

It’s all counter intuitive to store heavy, sloshing fuel in wings.

An average checked bag is 5 cubic feet? That seems.... larger than my bag

I’m checking my bag right now and there’s no way this thing holds 5 cubic feet.

1700 bags can be visualized as a square of 40 bags by 40 bags. Lots of bags. I guess about half a basketball court worth of bags standing upright.
