Gravity ground refueling is provided via ports on the upper surface of the wing into tanks one<br />

and two. From there fuel can gravity feed into tanks three and four. This same gravity feed<br />

system can be utilized in flight given power feed system loss.<br />

All major thermal transfer within the aircraft is performed by the fuel system. The air cooled fuel<br />

cooler utilizing inlet duct boundary layer and flow control diversion air, placed ahead of the main<br />

gear bays dissipates all kinetic heating experienced by the airframe as well as systems heat<br />

generated. Dual heat exchangers are utilized for combat survivability. Fuel flow rate system<br />

requirements (Table 14.II) will be used to size fuel lines and pumps. All fuel lines are redundant<br />

to provide for fuel circulation and system combat survivability. The Vendetta is fitted with an<br />

onboard fire suppression system, utilizing a halon suppressant in the engine bay and fuel cutoff<br />

valves at all fuel tanks. The system is designed so it can be retrofitted with a more<br />

environmentally friendly suppression chemical in the future.<br />
