How many fuel tanks can a Eurofighter Typhoon carry, and what would be its' total fuel capacity then? Would it be able to cross the Atlantic ocean from the United Kingdom to the United States in one go, or would it need to refuel in mid-air?

How long could it stay in the air for, in theory?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Wikipedia (which cites reliable sources) quotes the ferry range as 3790km (2300 miles). That's the maximum distance between take-off and landing. However the figures for 'range' and 'combat radius' are probably more relevant to your question:
http://en.wikipedia.o...i/Eurofighter_Typhoon

The fuel capacity is quoted as 4.5 tonnes.

Range depends on ..
a) What stores/tanks it is carrying
b) Weather expecienced en route
c) Cruising condition en route.
These will effect range greatly.
