True but the wings are still structural and have the engines on them. Considering how much fual a jet needs you would struggle to find another place to put it. For a car there isn’t the same struggle to find a space and if it’s a small car you can make a smaller tank and stop more.
Sure, but cars are more easily designed to accommodate weird aesthetics that make room for spare tires, gas tanks, etc. It’s a low bar.
It would make just as much sense to fill the trunk lid or door pillars with gas. But they’re all too small to make it worth the effort. One 16 gallon jug is fine.
So the wings are like the balls of the plane? I always wondered why they were there. I guess electric planes wouldn’t need them and would be able to fly through tunnels, which could help reaching areas with mountains in the way.
It’s not even novel, in a sense. On planes the fuel is stored mainly in the wings. This feels like an extrapolation of that.

Planes what??
STORE FUEL IN THE WINGS

… What?
Where else would you put the fuel? under the passengers?
Sure I guess. I dunno, I’m not an engineer.
