    Like most planes, the wings are mostly fuel tanks. https://www.heritageconcorde.com/fuelgeneral

    Your picture shows the scale quite well, actually. Imagine that girl sitting in the cockpit and then imagine the size of the barrel compared to that.

    Fuel is typically measured by weight in aircraft so “a full tank” might be different besed on the density of the fuel.
