Starfighters Space Advances StarLaunch Platform

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Starfighters Space, Inc ("Starfighters" or the "Company"), the innovative aerospace company operating the world's only commercial fleet of flight-ready Lockheed F-104 Starfighter supersonic aircraft, flying out of Kennedy Space Center, announces that GE Aerospace's Innoveering division completed external surface engineering of the Company's StarLaunch test article. With the completion of this engineering step, Starfighters now moves on to its simulation testing.

Tim Franta, Vice President of Development at Starfighters, commented, "We are pleased to have completed this step and remain on track for flight testing this summer. The collaboration with GE Innoveering supports our commitment to achieving key technical benchmarks on schedule."

Engineering of the StarLaunch test article's external surfaces outer mold line or "OML" refers to the outermost surface of a component, representing the visible exterior of a rocket or spacecraft, essentially the "skin" of the vehicle. It is the primary reference point for designing and shaping the external components of a craft, including the flight control surfaces.

The surface design is critical to StarLaucnh's operational performance. GE Innoveering, widely known for its work in high-speed gas dynamics and propulsion systems, has applied its engineering expertise to develop a system that meets Starfighters' performance requirements. The completion of this phase allows for digital simulations to assess system response and readiness before proceeding to physical manufacturing.

Again, simulation testing of the StarLaunch design can now begin, providing insights into aerodynamics, stability, and control in simulated flight environments. These tests will validate the engineering approach before manufacturing, ensuring efficient integration with Starfighters' existing systems.
