Using the volumetric energy density of kerosene, the initial energy demand can then be calculated.
## Configuring tank design parameters in the aircraft exchange file {#configuring-tank-design-parameters-in-the-aircraft-exchange-file}
The desired tank configuration is defined by the user in the aircraft exchange file. The information can be found in the `aircraft_exchange_file/requirements_and_specifications/design_specification/configuration/tank_definition` block.
