What Happens if a Fighter Jet Runs Out of Fuel?

Описание: Fighter jets burn fuel incredibly fast — sometimes just minutes at full power. So what happens if a jet runs out of fuel mid-air? In combat, pilots rely on aerial refueling tankers to stay in the fight. But if fuel runs dangerously low, they must break off and head to the nearest base, often declaring a fuel emergency. In rare cases, jets may glide for a short distance or even eject if no landing is possible. In this video, we’ll explain how fuel management works and what happens when it runs out.
