Instead of dragging the whole length of the hose , the truck could be parked parallel to the wing at the back .

It's easier to just drive straight in and out. No maneuvering. Also you're potentially blocking other ramp staff that need access to the aft cargo compt.

I’d hate airbuses when all tanks including both ACTs needed to be full, talk about longest fueling yet. I swear, it was faster to pump a 767 with 10k gallons of fuel, than a a321 with 4k gallons of fuel.

@armoredgaming23524 ай бұрын
i feel you, those airbuses take 6 dark ages to fuel. at my local airport, for example, a lot of transatlantic flights have been switched from a wide body over to the a321neo for fuel efficiency. most of them are taking around 6000-7000 gallons. it takes so ridiculously long to finish fueling them. boeing, although having major publicity issues now, are much better to fuel. depending on the truck, most a321s fuel at around 190-240 gpm. compare that to a 737 which fuels at 400 gpm, or a 777 at 800 gpm. the difference is insane!
