It is being told that it was a passenger plane, many people are feared dead in the accident. At present, 7 fire brigade vehicles have reached the spot and work is being done to extinguish the fire.
Now the question is where is the fuel tank of the air plane. How does a fire break out in the plane after a crash and where are the passengers sitting in it most at risk. Let's know everything about it...
Fuel is stored here
Airplanes are often used for long journeys, in such a situation they also need a large amount of fuel. If you are thinking that fuel is stored in the main body of the plane, then it is not so. Fuel is stored in both the wings of the plane. There is a reason for this. Actually, the engines of the plane are installed in its wings. In such a situation, storing fuel here makes it easier to deliver it to the engine. This also reduces the weight of the plane considerably.
It is also helpful in maintaining balance
The wings of any passenger plane are also very useful in balancing it. Actually, if the fuel is filled in the main body, then it will spoil the balancing. Suppose if the fuel is filled in the rear part, then when in the air, the rear part of the plane will bend down, while due to less fuel, the rear part will rise up. This will also increase the risk of accidents.
