Increased size, gross weight and engine power of Super VC10, compared with standard VC10 now flying, led to fin torsion box structure being constructed as integral fuel tank; component is built by Sud-Aviation at its St. Nazaire plant in France; fuel tank capacity is 1340 Imperial gal; fuel is transferred by gravity feed into wing center section tank and pumped to main system in wings for delivery to engines; details of construction of fin torsion box and fuel tank and fuel system layout are shown diagrammatically.
