Asked in Airplanes and Aircraft
Why do planes dump there fuel on emergency landings?
Generally, during an emergency the more fuel the better;
however, if it is certain that the plane is not going to be able to
remain airborn much longer i.e. the engines are irreparably
damaged, dumping excess fuel can decrease weight allowing for a
longer glide time, which in turn provides more time to select a
safe landing zone, and prepare. Also, less fuel can mean less boom
if the airplane ignites.
