The amount of fuel an airplane needs varies significantly based on factors such as its size, type, and distance of the flight. For example, a small regional jet might require around 1,500 to 2,500 gallons for a short-haul flight, while a large commercial airliner like a Boeing 747 can consume over 50,000 gallons for long-haul routes. Additionally, fuel consumption is influenced by weight, weather conditions, and flight speed. Ultimately, airlines calculate fuel needs based on these variables to ensure safe and efficient operations.

Can airplanes fly into space?

No. Airplanes cannot fly into space. They need air to hold them up. That's the purpose of the wings on both sides. They also need oxygen to burn their fuel. The airplane can't go anyplace where the air isn't thick enough to support the wings or where it lacks enough oxygen for the fuel. In space, there's no air at all.
