コンフォーマル・フューエル・タンク（Conformal fuel tanks, CFT）は飛行機の機体胴体部に沿って取り付けられる外部燃料タンク。機体下部のハード・ポイントに取り付けられるドロップ・タンクと比較すると、飛行中に取り外すことができない欠点があるものの、ハード・ポイントを武装に使用することができる、空気抵抗とレーダー断面積が比較的小さいという利点がある。

対応機種

F-15C Eagle/F-15E Strike Eagle

F-15Cは導入当初からCFTに対応している。^[1]F-15Bを用いて1974年にテストが行われた。燃料タンクとして以外にも航法と攻撃に用いる赤外線センサーを組み込む予定だったため、当初はFASTパック（Fuel And Sensor Tactical）と呼称されていたが、^[1]センサーについてはLANTIRNポッドが開発されることになった。^[1]タンクはそれぞれ849 US gallons (3,213.8 L)の燃料を搭載可能である。現在はイスラエル空軍のF-15C/DのみがCFTを利用している。^[1]アメリカ空軍のF-15Eとイスラエルやシンガポール空軍で使用されている輸出型のストライク・イーグルはCFTが組み込まれており、CFTを外して飛行するには改造が必要である。^[2]

F-16C/D Block 50/52+, F-16E/F Block 60 and F-16I Sufa

ギリシャ、イスラエル、ポーランド、シンガポール、モロッコに輸出されたF-16はそれぞれ450 US gallons (1,703.4 L)の燃料を搭載できるCFTが付属している。

Dassault Rafale

2001年4月にそれぞれ1,150 litres (300 US gal)の燃料を搭載できるCFTがテストされた。^[3]

Eurofighter Typhoon

BAEは風洞においてそれぞれ1,500 litres (400 US gal)のCFTをテストしている。^[4]

AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo

F-CK-1DとF-CK-1CのプロトタイプはCFTの積載をテストしている。

+コンフォーマル・フューエル・タンク（'''Conformal fuel tanks''', CFT）は飛行機の機体胴体部に沿って取り付けられる外部燃料タンク。機体下部のハード・ポイントに取り付けられるドロップ・タンクと比較すると、飛行中に取り外すことができない欠点があるものの、ハード・ポイントを武装に使用することができる、空気抵抗とレーダー断面積が比較的小さいという利点がある。
-'''Conformal fuel tanks''' (CFTs) are additional fuel tanks fitted closely to the profile of an aircraft which extend either the range or "time on station" of the aircraft, with a reduced aerodynamic penalty compared to external [[drop tank]]s.
+==対応機種==
-Conformal fuel tanks have the disadvantage that, unlike drop tanks, they cannot be discarded in flight. This is because conformal tanks are [[plumbing|plumbed]] into the aircraft, and can only be removed on the ground. Thus, when the CFTs are empty, the aircraft continues to suffer the same aerodynamic penalty, with no benefit. However, to use the [[Eurofighter Typhoon]] as an example, an aircraft with CFTs can carry a full weapons load and two 1,500 litre CFTs, whereas a Typhoon without CFTs has to sacrifice at least two weapons pylons to carry drop tanks, reducing either range or weapons load.
-CFTs also have the advantages of not significantly increasing an aircraft's [[radar cross section|radar cross-section]], and allowing a higher maximum speed than drop tanks.
