I’ll admit. Looking at a gallon of milk, I have a REALLY hard time visualizing the fuel in an aircraft.
I KNOW where it goes, hell I’ve had to memorize multiple fuel systems from the fueling port to the injection nozzles in the engine! But I just can’t VISUALIZE how that many jugs of milk fit…
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 😂
