The external fuel tank to be carried by the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II needed redesign during the aircraft’s design phase. This fuel tank was redesigned using a multidisciplinary optimization approach to improve the aircraft system’s store separation and performance properties. After an extensive trade study, the new fuel tank properties were veried with wind tunnel testing and accepted as part of the aircraft system.
