This site here says that the 737 holds 6,875 gallons or 26,025 liters of fuel max. cap. which weighs about 47,000 pounds or over 23 tons.

That means each wing is weighted down by 23,000 pounds at takeoff, not 7,000 pounds. (in jet fuel gallons to pounds).

I want to disprove this new theory that airlines have been using Tesla technology of compressed air turbines instead of fuel, but charging us for the fuel.

You really don’t understand aircraft fuel systems or the physics of compressed air, do you?

British Airways Flight 38 in 2008 crashed due to frozen fuel, not frozen compressed air.

Why did UA Flight 232 burst into flames on touchdown, if it wasn’t full of fuel?
