最近,美国洛克希德·马丁公司为F-16战斗机设计了一种奇特的设备——共形油箱(所谓共形油箱,是指与机体接合在一起的外加油箱,并且在安装后飞机的外形与原来尽可能保持一致,对飞机的气动力特性影响也很小)。每架F-16战斗机可以在机背上安装两个这种油箱,使飞机的载油量总计增加1666升,而空气阻力的增加还不到1%,因此能大幅度提高飞机的续航距离。目前世界上还没有一架飞机采用共形油箱,F-16战斗机将成为第一种采用这种油箱的飞机。
Recently, Lockheed Martin of the United States designed a fancy device for the F-16 fighter - the conformal tank (the so-called conformal tank, which refers to the tank attached to the fuselage, and after installation the shape of the aircraft As far as possible consistent with the original, the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft has a small impact). Each F-16 fighter can install two such fuel tanks on the back of the aircraft, bringing the total fuel load of the aircraft by 1666 liters, while increasing the air resistance by less than 1%, thus greatly increasing the aircraft’s cruising range. No conformal tank is currently available in the world, and the F-16 fighter jet will be the first aircraft to have such a tank.
