Starfighters said Trump also spoke about supporting NASA’s Artemis lunar and Mars exploration, opening US airspace for commercial supersonic flights, and plans for an annual event at the Cape Canaveral Spaceport that would be “bigger, better, and grander” than the Paris Air Show.

The company said the address kicked off NASA’s MAX POWER aerospace exposition at the spaceport and took place during UP.Summit, which it described as an annual technology showcase focused on transportation, mobility, and aerospace innovation. Starfighters said both events were held in and around its hangar, with its F-104 jets on display along with new hardware for its Wind Tunnel in the Sky™ flight research system.

“There is no better backdrop for a conversation about American aerospace leadership,” said Tim Franta, CEO of Starfighters Space.

In the release, Starfighters described itself as operating a fleet of F-104 aircraft at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the Midland International Air & Space Port in Texas, and providing sustained Mach 2+ flight capability for aerospace applications including payload launches, pilot training, and research and testing work.
