Hmmm...in case we dismiss Jack out of hand, better mention that

which has been shunting fuel round the sky for a long, long time, can
place fuel between various tanks for CofG purposes.


I knew about the KC135 (that one was obvious because of it's special
mission) and the Concorde, but when the OP wrote about "most large
aircraft" having trim tanks I had to ask. I really don't consider the
Concorde a large (or normal!) aircraft.
