NF-104, modification of F-104 Starfighter with rocket engine, 1960-s
In order to acquaint Aerospace Research Pilot School School (now the Air ForceTest Pilot School) students with some of the techniques of space flight, three F-104s were fitted with 6,000-pound thrust rocket motors and with reaction controls for use beyond the atmosphere.
NF-104 could be zoom-climbed well above 100,000 feet, where the pilots would experience up to 90 seconds of weightlessness and then be confronted with the problem of reentry.
