C-5 Galaxy Weighs Over 40,000 lbs.
46. Each wing of the C-5 Galaxy weighs over 40,000 lbs. Part of the reason for this large weight other than its sheer size. Each wing has 6 fuel tanks built into the wings to combine for a total of 12 wing fuel tanks for a total of 51,140 gallons. We are no mathematicians, but that sounds like a lot of weight in fuel.
