AMZAR bertanya: salam.....saya berumur 11 tahun. Berapakah jumlah minyak yang diperlukan bagi sebuah kapalterbang?
(Greeting... i'm 11 years old. How much fuel required for an aircraft?)
My Answer,
Amzar, it depend on few things, size of and aircraft and also the distance that it will travel. For instance if we talking about B737NG (-600/700/800), the total fuel will be around 26000 litres to fill the tanks to maximum however if the distance intended for the flight is short, then less fuel will be taken for that particular flight. Less fuel mean less weight so more fuel will be saved instead of being burned unnecessarily.
Just for comparision, maximum fuel for B747-400 is 216000 litres & for Cessna 140 is only 80 litres.
