Summary

Description
English: JF-104A (formerly YF-104A, serial #55-2961) ground testing its reaction control system. The aircraft was modified with a hydrogen peroxide reaction control system (RCS). Following a zoom climb to altitudes in the vicinity of 80,000 feet, the RCS gave the jet controllablity in the thin upper atmosphere where conventional control surfaces are ineffective.
Polski: JF-104A (poprzednia nazwa YF-104A, numer seryjny 52961) podczas naziemnego testu systemu sterowania reakcyjnego. Samolot ten został zmodyfikowany poprzez zastosowanie systemu sterowania reakcyjnego (RCS ang. Reaction Control System) zasilanego nadtlenkiem wodoru. Podczas wznoszenia się na wysokość w pobliżu 28000 metrów, RCS umożliwiał sterowanie samolotu w rzadkich warstwach atmosfery, przy pomocy niewielkich silniczków rakietowych, gdzie konwencjonalne powierzchnie sterowe są mało efektywne.
