Starfighters Space Announces Development Of Wind Tunnel In The Sky Mach 2+ Flight-Testing Platform Starfighters Space announced the next phase in development of 'Wind Tunnel in the Sky,' a reusable airborne platform designed to help commercial, government, defense, and research customers evaluate advanced technologies during sustained Mach 2+ flight in real-world atmospheric conditions. The Company is designing a unique underwing platform that is modular, reusable, and able to host a variety of sensors, test articles, and other payloads for long-duration exposure to both high-speed and low-gravity conditions. This underwing platform is expected to support aerodynamic test articles, avionics, sensors, communications systems, electronic equipment, advanced materials, and other technologies for hypersonic programs and microgravity research. Leveraging the Company's operational F-104 fleet, a typical 45-minute mission can include up to a 10-minute Mach 2+ test window, providing significantly longer exposure than traditional wind tunnel test runs—which typically can last only seconds at a time—and compressing what could otherwise take days of facility scheduling into a single flight. Wind Tunnel in the Sky builds on Starfighters Space's previous subsonic and supersonic flight-test experience, including testing conducted in support of its STARLAUNCH 1 demonstrator. As development progresses, the reusable platform is expected to expand commercial access to the Company's F-104 fleet for testing for next-generation aerospace, defense and space technologies. 공고 • Jun 27

Starfighters Space Announces Availability of F-104 Starfighter Platform as Airborne Aerodynamic Test Environment Starfighters Space, Inc. announced the availability of its F-104 Starfighter platform as an airborne aerodynamic test environment for the U.S. defense and aerospace community. Starfighters’ fleet of modified F-104 aircraft functions as an airborne test platform capable of replicating aerodynamic conditions that fixed facilities cannot fully reproduce. The F-104’s flight profile allows it to simulate the aerodynamic conditions of the first 30 seconds of a vertical rocket launch, a phase of flight that has historically been among the most difficult to test accurately in a static environment. The platform exposes test articles to turbulent, variable atmospheric conditions representative of actual operational flight, and can carry models closer to production size than most ground-based tunnels permit. Testing complexity can be layered simultaneously, including g-forces, humidity, and dynamic pressure variations, in a single flight profile. The result is a test environment that narrows the gap between laboratory simulation and real-world flight, delivered from a platform that is operational. A single 45-minute Starfighters mission can include a 10-minute Mach 2 test window, generating the equivalent of about 20 traditional 30-second ground wind tunnel runs and compressing what would otherwise take about ten days in a fixed facility into one flight. Starfighters currently serves customers including Lockheed Martin, GE, Innoveering, Meggitt, Space Florida, and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. Flight operations are conducted from the company’s hangar at the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center, one of the longest runways in the world. 공고 • Apr 02

Starfighters Space, Inc. Completes Wind Tunnel Testing for STARLA Launch 1 Starfighters Space, Inc. announced the successful completion of wind tunnel testing for STARLAUNCH 1, a key technical milestone in the Company's air-launched rocket development efforts. The completed test campaign evaluated separation of the STARLAUNCH 1 vehicle from the Starfighters' aircraft platform across both subsonic and supersonic conditions. Using a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and experimental wind tunnel testing, the Company assessed separation behavior at Mach 0.85 and Mach 1.3. Across all test conditions, clean separation was demonstrated with no adverse aerodynamic interactions observed. The wind tunnel campaign consisted of ten successful runs, conducted at both subsonic and su personic speeds. experimental results showed strong agreement between CFD predictions and measured forces and moments, confirming the accuracy of Starfighters' aerodynamic models and separation simulations. Testing was conducted at the FAMU/FSU Joint College of Engineering Polysonic Wind Tunnel. The correlation between simulation and experimental data represents an important risk-reduction step as the program transitions from analytical validation toward physical test articles. Based on the completed testing, Starfighters has initiated the next procedural step in the program by moving forward with the procurement of instrumented drop test articles. These articles are intended to support further evaluation of separation dynamics under flight conditions and will incorporate onboard sensors and telemetry systems. STARLAUNCH 1 is being developed as a sub-orbital vehicle designed to support short-duration microgravity missions and serves as a pathfinder for future air-launched concepts. In parallel, the validated separation work also supports Starfighters' broader aerospace testing services, including programs where clean separation is required for advanced and hypersonic vehicle testing.
