Equations of motion for airplane with number of spherical fuel tanks are derived and are applied to two cases with two fuel tanks located in plane of symmetry; calculated motions show that airplane motion may be greatly changed by considering motion of fuel and, in particular, that small amplitude residual oscillations may result.
