Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor

That was what I was thinking too Scorpion82, about the four fuel tank configuration only for ferry flights.

about the four fuel tank configuration only for ferry flights.

My thoughts too were that the F-22 would only have four drop-tanks for ferry flights.

At normal weight, the following tanks remain filled:
Two wings A-2R|L – 1140.6 kg x 2,
Sizes: A-3R/L - 234.9 kg / 2 and F-2 - 2160.2 kg

Total: 2281.2 + 469,8 + 2160,2 = 4911.2 kg (52.4%)

Here is my summary, based on the F-22A sheet posted previously. In addition, the capacities of F-35A/C for comparison...

Something to note is that the production F-22 has certain fuel tanks deactivated to save costs during EMD, with the aircraft having provisions for fin and saddle tanks (the saddle tanks may be A-3L and A-3R). The 20,649 lbs (9,366 kg) internal fuel figure likely includes these deactivated tanks, as well as some quantity of unusable fuel in the system. Currently, usable fuel is around 18,000 lbs (8,165 kg).
