One quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces. A quart is the equivalent of 2 pints, and each pint has 2 cups. One cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces. Therefore, 1 quart is equal to 4 cups, and 4 cups multiplied by 8 fluid ounces is 32 fluid ounces.
Glenn Research Center. This is a computer drawing of the fuel system of the Wright brothers' 1903 aircraft engine. This engine powered the first, heavier than air, self-propelled, maneuverable, piloted aircraft; the Wright 1903 Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in December, 1903.To generate thrust for their aircraft, the brothers used twin, counter-rotating propellers at the rear of the aircraft.ngine Fuel System Glenn Research Center This is a computer drawing of the fuel system of the Wright brothers' 1903 aircraft engine.
Best Answer: The external tank carries 735,540 kg of fuel. The Solid Rocket Boosters have 499,000 of propellant, each. The total is about 1,733,540 kg. My guess is that the shuttle itself has some fuel for the fuel cells and maneuver, and reentry. It's probably not significant, and it's not used for launch, per se. OK, so gallons are a unit of volume, not mass. Mass is fairly easy to convert to weight in the 1 G on Earth.
