does anyone know if the external fuel tank project for F-35 has been resurected?
i know that the project for an L/O tank got canned many years ago, but surely basic ferry tanks - particulary given the trials with other external stores are at the least, mature - are going to be a must-have before long?
one imagines that the cost of dragging F-35's across the Atlantic/Pacific on internal fuel only will soon enough start to overtake the development cost of a bog-standard tank...
