If fuel is stored along the fuselage, in a bladder, how do you keep it from sloshing between front and back? EDIT: Maybe toothpaste squeezer design could work

- michaelbuckbee 5y agoNo idea how they intend to accomplish this on the plane, but in other similar situations the containers have baffles between sections to prevent sloshing: https://mk0saferacklivebim3l.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/tank-truck-surge-provention.jpg https://mk0saferacklivebim3l.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/upload...
- m4rtink 5y agoSimilar thing in many liquid fueled rockets - provided you don't want to end up as early Falcon 1 or Juno launches.
- tacostakohashi 5y agoProbably the same way that sloshing is prevented when a conventional aircraft banks - using the magic of baffles.
- antattack 5y agoArticle specifies a bladder - I don't see how you can have bladder and baffles. Also, baffles would make it difficult to source fuel to engines when ascending or descending.
