The main reason we store fuel in the wings of planes is to balance weight because fuel is one of the heaviest components of an aircraft. On some long-haul flights, the fuel can account for as much as a third of the aircraft’s gross weight. Storing this extra weight in the fuselage would reduce available … Continue reading Why is plane fuel stored in the wings?
Futuris explores how researchers are using tools from the field of physics and other scientific disciplines to help better understand COVID-19. In Hamburg scientists are studying the elusive protein structures that enable coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, to take hold. They are trying to find out how they are able to replicate so rapidly inside human cells. … Continue reading What experts in physics and virology are doing to end COVID-19
