Why does a crashing plane need to dump fuel?
It makes the aircraft lighter, and minimizes the effect of an explosion if it crashed.
Why are the wing tips on modern passenger jets upturned?
Upturned wingtips cause the plane to use fuel more efficiently.
How much does a passenger plane weigh?
Depends on the plane, from the biggest (Airbus A380) 276,800kg to a smaller plane (Boeing 737) 38,147kg, however this is only the empty weight you also have to factor in passengers, fuel and luggage.

What is the worlds smallest passenger plane?

Does a plane dump its fuel before it lands?
Depends on the amount of fuel. Every plane has a different maximum landing weight. Fuel is very heavy stuff - usually almost half a jet's weight on takeoff. Commercial flights are calculated so that by the time the jet gets to its destination, its weight has been reduced by the burning of this fuel, and it is perfectly safe to land. In an emergency, though, if an incident happens just after takeoff, a plane may have to make a fast return to its departure airport. However, it is still full of the fuel for its planned flight, and therefore over its max landing weight. If the plane is still flyable, the pilot will perform multiple spiralling descending circles, burning as much fuel as possible until it is safe to land. The pilot can also physically open the fuel tanks and dump his fuel out the back.
What is the most biggest passenger plane?
The airbus A380 is the biggest passenger plane. It can hold 650 passengers.
If a plane in flying 500 meters above the ground and it has to dump its fuel how long does it take the fuel to reach the ground?
It will take A while, Like maybe, 5 minutes,,,, But it would more likely evaporate into the air before it reached the ground. that would probably depend on how fast the plane is going
I live under a flight path and keep getting brown circular dots of stuff on my car you have been told its jettisoned plane fuel Is that possible?
It is possible to dump fuel from some commercial aircraft. This is only done during emergency procedures to get the aircraft under a safe landing weight. The brown spots are not jet fuel, airline would not dump fuel unless it was a definite emergency. As we all know fuel is expensive and airlines cannot afford to just dump the fuel. The spots are possibly acid rain or tree particulate. If this is something that you must solve, I would look for a more simple answer.
Can you verify if a passenger has boarded the plane"?
Yes, airline staff can verify if a passenger has boarded the plane by checking the passenger manifest or using electronic boarding systems.
