Starfighters jet and hangar featured during Presidential remarks at UP.Summit and NASA’s MAX POWER aerospace exposition

Starfighters Space, Inc. ("Starfighters" or the "Company") (NYSE American: FJET), the space company operating the world's only commercial fleet of flight-ready Mach 2+ supersonic aircraft, on Friday hosted President Donald J. Trump, who delivered an address on U.S. aerospace leadership from the Company’s hangar at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

President Trump’s remarks focused on his administration’s efforts to advance U.S. leadership in space exploration and improve U.S. commercial competitiveness in space transportation. In attendance were the NASA Administrator, the Secretary of Transportation, Florida’s governor-elect, other senior federal and state government officials, and several aerospace industry CEOs, including Mr. Franta. President Trump discussed his support for 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.

“There is no better backdrop for a conversation about American aerospace leadership,” said Tim Franta, CEO of Starfighters Space. “We were honored to support the President’s visit, along with other senior government and industry officials. America is in a race to maintain its leadership in space exploration, hypersonics, and aerospace technology. We believe Starfighters will play an important role.”

The address kicked off NASA’s MAX POWER aerospace exposition at the spaceport, and took place during UP.Summit, an annual technology showcase focused on the future of transportation, mobility, and aerospace innovation. The two events were held in and around the Starfighters Space hangar, with the Company’s iconic F-104 jets on prominent display along with new hardware for the Company’s Wind Tunnel in the Sky™ flight research system. Government officials and other attendees got an up-close look at the “right-stuff” jets the Company has transformed into commercial platforms for aerospace technology development.
