takata,
Your Airbus cg post is great reading.
That aft fuel transfer for fuel economy is a great concept, but your figures are a bit on the optimized side. MEL mentions only 1% penalty if trim tank is disabled (no aft xfer)
Nevertheless, one A330 at 6000 kg/H for 3000 FH/year is still 180 tonnes saved.
