The advantage of an active center of gravity control are described, with reference to the control system by fuel transfer adopted in the A330 and A340 aircraft design. These aircraft can carry fuel in the tailplane in addition to the wing and fuselage tanks. The tail tank has a capacity of 5 tons. The installation results in fuel, range and loading benefits which are detailed in the examples.
