It's not rocket science.
The largest air tankers were the Boeing 747-based Global Supertankers, which could carry up to 19,600 gallons of water or fire retardant. However, the Global Supertanker ceased operations in 2021, meaning there is currently no single "largest" air tanker with that capacity in active service in the U.S.
Key details about the Global Supertanker:
Capacity: Up to 19,600 US gallons (approximately 74,000 liters).
Status: Retired and no longer operating as of 2021.
Function: Dropped water or fire retardant to fight large, fast-spreading fires.
While the 747 Supertanker was once the largest, the U.S. Forest Service now focuses on contracts for planes with smaller capacities, typically between 3,000 and 5,000
Good one as that is a great comparison because depending on the type of fuel they're using there's no way that could be a liquid fuel it would be way too heavy, the plane would never fly.
Although one gallon of water produces 133 gallons of hydrogen. I don't know enough about Jets to say exactly how they work but I know they call the engines a compressor so it would compress air coming in and with an extreme amount of heat it would ignite the hydrogen in the air as it comes from water molecules in oxygen H 2 0. So in essence you would only need enough fuel to start the engines to get them going but once they are running they would be self-sustaining. Ta Da, there you go 🤪
Great question

Thrust and lift are the two motive forces for flight. Thrust is produce by the engines and lift from the wing (airfoil).
Once airborne, if the aircraft needs to make an emergency landing it has to dump fuel using a jettison system before attempting to land because the landing gear cannot support the excessive weight of a fully fueled aircraft.
Perform research in physics regarding the forces necessary for flight and you will understand more clearly how it works.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The wings and horizontal stabilizer are hollow cavities designed to hold fuel. The wings alone are 224' long @42 ' wide at the fuselage and @ 3' deep tapering out to the tip. The horizontal stab is about one-third this size. Each can store quite a bit of fuel. And let's not forget about military aircraft that have midair refuel capability.
To think that fuel is a hoax and aircraft are powered by the ether is naive at best, foolish and ignorance at worst...
Unvaxxed, Unmasked, Untested, Unafraid. Love wins! I have been singing about corruption publicly for 50 years. We are all connected.
They don't hold or burn nearly as much fuel as they claim. Period.
