Finally the first video I was able to publish, of a Supersonic Research & Development flight.
The aircraft is the F-104S-ASAM, the most updated and capable F-104.
We do numerous flights of this kind, but very often, because of restrictions on proprietary information, we can't share much or anything about them.
This is a flight of one of the companies currently working on Supersonic Air Launch Capabilities for some testing of a specific rocket platform which will be able to be released at supersonic speeds.
The rocket will then accelerate even faster and eventually will be able to release small payloads to lower orbits.
Love it all! These flights are very exciting!
