More than 2,500 F-104 Starfighters were built for air forces around the world. Only a handful can still fly. And according to CEO Tim Franta, most of them are in one company’s fleet. That company is Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET). Its hangar sits at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. And within a single week, it signed two new agreements with neighbors on Florida’s Space Coast. The newer one is a memorandum of understanding with Vaya Defense & Space. Under the Vaya MOU, the companies plan to fly Vaya hypersonic test articles on Starfighters’ Mach 2+ jets. They also plan to assess Vaya’s patented Vortex-Hybrid engine for the STARLAUNCH air-launch system, starting with suborbital missions. Vaya has worked with the U.S. Army DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center, the U.S. Air Force and DARPA. A week earlier, FJET signed an MOU with The Bionetics Corporation. Bionetics will handle assembly, testing, integration and data retrieval for pathfinder small payloads inside the 104,000-square-foot Space Life Sciences Lab, nine miles from the Starfighters hangar. The balance sheet has changed too. The second quarter Form 10-Q shows $1.45Mn in cash plus $21.73Mn in short-term U.S. Treasury notes as of June 30th, against total liabilities of just $2.75Mn. Much of that came from a $17.5Mn private placement that closed in May at $3.35 per share, with Cantor as exclusive placement agent. About Starfighters Space, Inc. Starfighters Space, Inc. operates seven F-104 aircraft from Kennedy Space Center and the Midland International Air & Space Port in Texas. The company says it is the only commercial operator able to fly at sustained Mach 2+ speeds. The model has three parts. First, research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) flights for hypersonic, defense and space hardware. Second, pilot and space flight training. Third, STARLAUNCH, an air-launch system that uses the F-104 as a reusable first stage. Per the company’s corporate presentation, the jets can carry payloads up to 45,000 feet. FJET listed on NYSE American in December 2025 after raising $40Mn. Sources And More: FJET Website. FJET Presentation. Behind The Scenes With The CEO On the Fighter Pilot Podcast, Franta called the F-104 essentially a rocket with a pilot. He said Starfighters won’t chase heavy-lift launch. It will focus on small payloads and borrow the cadence mindset of SpaceX and Rocket Lab. In a separate MarketLink interview, he laid out a two-track plan. Hypersonic testing and R&D serve government and commercial clients now. STARLAUNCH builds toward space access over time. The company has targeted a STARLAUNCH II space demonstration flight within 18 to 24 months of May 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. Image From Starfighters Space, Inc. Website. The Pivot: A Wind Tunnel In The Sky Traditional ground wind tunnel runs typically last only seconds at a time. Starfighters says a typical 45-minute F-104 mission can hold up to a 10-minute Mach 2+ test window. That is the idea behind Wind Tunnel in the Sky, a reusable underwing platform now in its next development phase. It is designed to carry sensors, avionics, advanced materials and aerodynamic test articles through real weather, vibration and heat. “While ground wind tunnels remain essential for aerospace research and development, airborne testing can expose hardware to combinations of weather variation, vibration, acceleration, dynamic pressure, temperature and operational conditions that cannot always be fully reproduced in a fixed facility,” Franta said. 5 Key Potential Catalysts Putting (NYSE American: FJET) On Our Watchlist #1. Two Space Coast Partnerships Signed Within A Single Week. The Vaya and Bionetics agreements could give (FJET) both a propulsion partner and a payload-processing partner within miles of its hangar. #2. A Hypersonic Test Market Projected To More Than Quadruple. Market Intelo projects the hypersonic flight test infrastructure market could grow from approx. $0.5Bn in 2025 to $2.2Bn by 2034, the niche (FJET) is targeting with Wind Tunnel in the Sky. #3. Treasury-Heavy Balance Sheet After A $17.5Mn Placement. With approx. $23.18Mn in cash and short-term Treasury notes against $2.75Mn in total liabilities as of June 30th, (FJET) has fresh runway for its next development steps. #4. Decades-Old Federal Supersonic Rules Could Be Modernized. The FAA’s proposed rule would swap a blanket overland speed limit for a performance-based standard, and (FJET) plans to join the rulemaking process. #5. Russell 3000 Membership Puts The Name On More Screens. Since June 29th, (FJET) has been part of the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, which can widen its visibility with institutional desks. The Closing Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET) holds something few can replicate: most of the world’s remaining airworthy F-104s, based at Kennedy Space Center. Now it is lining up partners to put that fleet to work, from hypersonic test articles to hybrid rocket engines to small payloads. The pieces it has assembled in recent weeks give market watchers plenty to track. Consider FJET on your radar, and review its next filings and flight updates closely.
