Give Me A Reason To Fly To Australia (in the Kodiak)

Recommended Posts

You could fit a ferry tank.

With 315 gallons of Jet A fuel in the wings, the 300 gallon aluminum ferry tank will only be filled with 222 gallons to safely fly the longest of the legs on their six-day journey.  This installation allowed the second row seats to remain, providing a (slight) change of venue for the off-duty co-pilot.  
The aluminum ferry tank is designed with internal baffles to minimize fuel shifting back and forth and with dimensions that allowed it to slide through the cargo door and then be slid straight forward.  Since the tank is stationed directly above the CG point, the weight reductions from fuel consumption have virtually no impact on the Kodiak’s CG.

Remember, there are 2 ranges to remember

1. The aircraft range

2. the human bladder range.

IRL If you consume fliuds as you are supposed to to keep hydrated, Range 2 will probably be the limiting factor. 🤾‍♂️

To be honest, I'd buy one of these jelly thingies that you word not allowed into. No worries. 

Would be more concerned about a sudden onset of intestinal distress, if you catch my drift.......

Just do what truckers do and use a “pee” jug, but try to refrain from flinging it out the window when it gets full!
