### Comment:
Possibly a dumb question, but if the tanks arent completely full for take off, will the plane not take off properly from all the fluid being pushed and weighing down the back as the nose picks up? Or are the tanks on a leveling device?

### REPLY:
Not a dumb question actually. I don’t know the full answer unfortunately because I haven’t worked on the tankers yet. I know with our helicopters we have fuel cells that expand with the fuel inside the tanks to prevent the sloshing effect. I’d imagine the tanks on the jets would use the same thing.
