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 very simplified answer is that they’re fuel injected. Older fighter planes that used carburetors couldn’t fly upside down too long before stalling the engine but modern aircraft, and really most modern engines of any type, are fuel injected, meaning that the fuel is sprayed from a pressurized system that isn’t affected by orientation.
