An aircraft comprising a fuel tank in which a lower wall of the tank corresponds to a panel of a structure of the aircraft, the panel being provided with reinforcing profiles, a fuel retention zone being associated with at least one reinforcing profile, the retention zone being delimited by the lower wall of the tank and by the reinforcing profile. The tank has a set of passive fuel transfer systems, each system being installed between a fuel retention zone associated with a reinforcing profile and a lower part of the tank. Each passive fuel transfer system is configured to allow fuel retained in the retention zone to be siphoned in such a manner that this fuel is transferred to a pumping zone in the lower part of the tank.
