A380 Wing Fuel Tanks at Carolyn Sutton blog

A380 Wing Fuel Tanks. With the a380 being such a big plane, how long does it usually take to fuel it up for a flight? It is called the trim tank because for flight the aircraft can move fuel from the wings to the tail and vice versa. Does it require more than one fuel truck?. The a380 simply does not have enough space left on the lower deck, which is why they moved all the fuel into the wings. In larger aircraft, the wing tank is divided into an outer and inner tank. I think the 380 has four tanks per wing plus the trim tank. The aircraft has eleven fuel tanks with five tanks in each wing and one tank in the horizontal stabilizer also called the ‘trim tank’ (this is located at the aft of the aircraft). The wing tank fuel is used last during the course of the flight. Looking at this diagram, my guess is something like this: For example, if an aircraft has a center tank, the center tank fuel is used first before the fuel is drained from the wings. Moving fuel around the aircraft between the various tanks is what makes the a380 fuel system so complex.
