A Typhoon model fitted with conformal fuel tanks CFTs (Conformal Fuel Tanks) have always been one of the features Eurofighter was thinking about since the Typhoon was pitched for the Indian MMRCA ...
The Eurofighter Typhoon's proposed conformal fuel tank configuration has entered windtunnel testing in the UK, partner company BAE Systems has revealed.
I don't really know if this version of the Eurofighter Typhoon will ever become a reality. However, chances seems to be increased after Eurofighter ...
BAE Systems has completed the first tests of conformal fuel tanks for the Eurofighter Typhoon in its high-speed windtunnel at Warton in the UK. The 1,500 litre (400USgal) tanks were designed by ...
LONDON — BAE Systems is carrying out wind tunnel trials to assess the aerodynamics of mounting conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) onto the Eurofighter Typhoon. The testing, taking place in the company ...
This picture—taken by airplane photographer Luigi Sani—shows a weird smooth hump on the central fuselage of an Eurofighter Typhoon. It’s one of its two new top Conformal Fuel Tanks, designed ...
The Eurofighter Typhoon can switch between air-to-air and air-to-surface combat. Here's how much fuel it can hold and how far it can travel on missions.
-While the Raptor usually prevails through stealth and situational awareness, its agility was compromised in the drills due to external fuel tanks, giving the lighter Typhoon an edge. Despite ...
The Eurofighter and the F-22 Eurofighter Typhoons, like the F-22A Raptor, were designed to do air superiority missions for their respective air forces. The Typhoon came out in 1994.
This also means that the cancellation of plans to develop a fuselage-hugging conformal fuel tank for Typhoon (one that would free up pylons) further stymies the EK’s jamming options.

The tanks are not a new concept — both the F-15 and the F-16 have conformal fuel tanks that can be fitted to them, as do the Dassault Rafale, and the Eurofighter Typhoon.
