How filling fuel a airplane while flying?
There will be a refueling plane which contains only fuel. A long hose or pipe will be lowered from the refueling plane. A plane which is to be refueled will have a hole which goes to fuel tank. The pipe will be injected into the hole. The fuel will flow through the pipe. The plane gets refueled.Then the pipe or hose is drawn back.
How long is 580 miles on an airplane?
In a large passenger liner it will usually be about an hour and quarter of flying
How long does it take to fly in an airplane from Oakland California to Buenas Aires Argentina?
Depends on the plane you are flying in.
How long would it take to go around the world and back in a normal airplane?
What is "normal". The only aircraft that could fly 'around the world and back' are military planes that can be refuelled while flying.

How much fuel can an airplane hold?
That depends on the airplane model. There is no definitive answer to this. Most commercial airplanes take on as much fuel as they need for the journey, as it's cheaper to fly with only as much fuel as you need. When aeronautics was in its early years people with daring took on as much fuel as they could to fly over great distances with quite inefficient engines. I suppose the answer is: an airplane can hold as much fuel as the maximum take-off weight for that particular plane is. Of course, getting extra fuel tanks in there, and connecting them to the intake is huge work, and I don't think people much do long-distance flying with small planes these days, since all the records have been set, even for a non-refuel flight across the world.
How does an airplane remain balanced in the air for a long time?
By keepingit's fuel evenly distributed in the fuselage. Using transfer pumps to transfer fuel from one tank to another.
How long will an airplane flying at an average speed of 500 mlies per hour take to travel 2750 miles?
