The F-104 is a remarkable aerial platform, capable of putting research projects into microgravity, high altitude, high speed, and high G environments. The jets can mimic the ascent, descent and flight profiles of spaceflight vehicles and high performance military aircraft, and -- according to NASA estimates -- can provide between 60-90 seconds of microgravity during parabolic maneuvers.

 With single-seat and two-seat versions, we can accommodate payloads large and small, in multiple external stations and internal compartments (pressurized and unpressurized), with capabilities for payload power, communications, video, and (backseat) human support.
