The invention concerns a device for carrying fuel in an aircraft and spacecraft (60), wherein the device (10) comprises: a carrier element (12) for the aircraft and spacecraft (60), wherein the carrier element (12) has a longitudinal axis (14), at least one tank (16, 18, 20) with a side wall (22) and a chamber (30), which is at least partially delimited by the side wall (22), for receiving the fuel; wherein the at least one tank (16, 18, 20) is arranged in the carrier element (12) and wherein the chamber (30) and the side wall (22) extend in a direction along the longitudinal axis (14); wherein the side wall (22) has a pressure-receiving component (24), wherein the pressure-receiving component (24) converts a pressure from the chamber (30) on the side wall (22) into a contraction force acting on the side wall (22) along the longitudinal axis (14), wherein the contraction force compensates for an expansion force, resulting from the pressure from the chamber (30) and acting on the side wall (22) along the longitudinal axis. The invention provides an improved device (10) for carrying fuel in an aircraft and spacecraft (60), wherein the aircraft and spacecraft (60) has constant flight mechanical properties because of the device (10).
