Fly a supersonic Starfighter<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>

Nicknamed \"The Missile with a Man in it\" thanks to its radical design, you will be flying a real legend. Brigadier General Chuck Yeager<\/a> - the first human to break the sound barrier and a legend himself - famously displayed a record-breaking ascent in a rocket-assisted F-104, climbing to the Edge of Space<\/a> at more than 118,000 feet (34km). The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter has an extremely radical, very fascinating design. Its sharp-as-a-dagger, razor-thin, tiny wings are attached to the very lean, cigarette-shaped fuselage very far in the back. Being the first production aircraft to fly at Mach 2, the Starfighter was also the first to hold airspeed, altitude, and time-to-climb records simultaneously.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A Skunk Work masterpiece<\/h2>\n

The legendary engineer Clarence L. \"Kelly\" Johnson - the founder of Lockheed's Skunk Works - was the father of the F-104 Starfighter. Skunk Works, that is an official pseudonym for Lockheed\/Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs (ADP). It is also responsible for the development of such famous aircraft like the P-38 Lightning and P-80 Shooting Star, the U-2 Dragon Lady, the SR-71 Blackbird, and the stealth aircraft F-117 Nighthawk, F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. Kelly Johnson came up with the concept for the Starfighter after asking US fighter pilots during the Korean War about what they were looking for in a fighter jet. The pilots were requesting a smaller, simpler aircraft, much faster fighter aircraft with excellent performance and high-altitude capabilities. At that time, they felt like the Soviet MiG-15<\/a>s were superior to what they currently had. As an answer, the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was created.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
