Individual compartments are referred to by the tank number and the athwartships position, such as "one port", "three starboard", or "six ...
The wing comprises a symmetrical aerofoil and cantilever construction, which was designed in-house by Flight Design. [2] It has an aspect ratio is akin to that of a glider, and is equipped with relatively oversized flaps to generate a high level of lift when required, as well as a pair of integral wing tanks to house all of the aircraft's fuel.

Drop tanks, external tanks, wing tanks, pylon tanks or belly tanks are all terms used to describe auxiliary externally mounted fuel tanks. Drop tanks are generally expendable and often jettisonable. External tanks are commonplace on modern military aircraft and occasionally found in civilian ones, although the latter are less likely to be ...
A wet wing (also referred to as integral fuel tanks [1]) is an aerospace engineering technique where an aircraft's wing structure is sealed and used as a fuel tank.. The use of wet wings has become common among civilian designs, from large transport aircraft, such as airliners, to small general aviation aircraft.
Natilus was founded in April 2016 [2] by Aleksey Matyushev and Anatoly Starikov. The idea for Natilus was sparked after their industrial design firm experienced challenges getting product out of Asia, leading them to the realization that cargo shipping is inexpensive but slow, while air freight is timely but expensive.
