There's reserve tanks or more generally reserve fuel for emergencies. Other than that there's no propulsion backup for when the fuel runs out, instead redundancy comes from multiple independent fuel tanks.
- SideburnsOfDoom 13d ago> redundancy comes from multiple independent fuel tanks. And in larger aircraft, multiple independent engines. See for instance ETOPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS From the pictures, I see that this new aircraft has 4 engines. So it should be adequately resilient to single engine failure.
