How can fighter jets fly upside-down in regards to the fuel intake

1.35K viewsEngineeringOther

Me and my brother are at a loss, we understand the basics of how the upside down thing works, but how does the engine get fuel when the tank is turned around, is it a vacoom and how would that work or is the intake from the tank in the back of the it, so the fuel is forced into the engine? Thanks.

The fuel is almost in a bag (some jets). As the fuel is used the bag collapses. Think bagged drinks and a straw.
