F-15 Conformal Fuel Tank (CFT)-Prototype vs Production

  Another submission by Jack Abercrombie on the subtle differences between the prototype and the production CFT’s. These strap on fuel tanks have been called FastPacks, pallet or CFT’s at various stages of their development. As Jack put it: “These attachments illustrate the small differences between the Prototype and Production fuel pallets for the F-15. The images were part of a briefing I delivered to the F-15 DRF test group at Edwards in Feb 1983.”
