There is news of an Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This accident happened in Meghaninagar area of ​​Ahmedabad.

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 airplane. How does a fire break out in a plane after a crash and where are the passengers sitting in the plane most vulnerable? Let's know everything about this...

 

 

Fuel is stored here

Airplanes are often used for long journeys, so they also need a large amount of fuel. If you are thinking that the fuel is stored in the main body of the plane, then it is not so. The fuel is stored in both the wings of the plane. There is a reason for this too. Actually, the engines of the plane are installed in its wings. In such a situation, storing the fuel here makes it easier to transport it to the engine. This also reduces the weight of the plane considerably. 

 

It is also helpful in creating balance

The wings of any passenger plane are also very useful in balancing it. Actually, if fuel is filled in the main body, then it will spoil the balancing. Suppose if fuel is filled in the rear part, then when in the air, the rear part of the plane will bend down, whereas if the fuel is less, then the rear part will rise up. This will also increase the risk of accidents.
