Which statement best describes the wing that contains all the aircraft fuel?

• A. The Wing Contains All The Aircraft Fuel
• B. The Wing Contains No Fuel
• C. The Wing Contains Partial Fuel
• D. The Wing Is Not Fuel Containing

Answer: (A)

Fuel is stored in wing tanks to make use of available space and to help with aircraft balance. If we’re talking about the wing that contains all the aircraft fuel, that means the entire fuel load is in that wing’s tanks and the other wing has little or no fuel. So the statement that best describes it is that the wing contains all the aircraft fuel. The other options describe a wing with no fuel, partial fuel, or no fuel-containing capability, which don’t fit the idea of “the wing that contains all the aircraft fuel.” In real operations, fuel is usually balanced between wings to maintain proper center of gravity, but conceptually the wing that holds all the fuel is simply described as containing all the aircraft fuel.
