Hi all,

in the report iy says there are three tanks on 777.

Im a 340/330 guy and just wondering if there ain't any outboard tanks inside the wing tanks.

In the 340/330 there is an outboard tank which usually has around 2500 kg of fuel. This fuel is kept near the edge of the wing to help reduce the moment of lift at the wings. The coldest fuel is most of the time in this tank and this tank usually will be used at the end of the flight when all other fuel is used.

My questions for the 777 experts:

1) Is there a small tank like this at the edge of the wing ?

If yes

2) is there a fuel temperature sensor for this tank on the 777 ?

Regards,

Guclu
