1. Fiscal 2025 10-K Filing
On April 16, 2026, Starfighters Space filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, marking its first full fiscal year as a public company. The report formalizes operational and financial disclosures under NYSE American requirements and highlights its modified supersonic F-104 fleet and air-launch revenue streams.
2. Expanded Technical Interchange Agreement
On April 15, Starfighters broadened its Technical Interchange Agreement with Blackstar Orbital to include vehicle physical characterization, wind tunnel testing, interface hardware design, telemetry and data coordination, and safety and range planning. The expanded scope covers hardware transfers to Blackstar, adapter design, flight procedures and preliminary costing for FAA, NASA and Space Florida approvals.
3. Market Positioning and Differentiation
Starfighters positions its Mach 2+ air-launch platform to fill the small-payload, rapid-response launch segment that heavy-lift providers like SpaceX do not economically serve. Operating from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the company aims to leverage its cost-effective, responsive-launch capabilities and deepening partnerships to capture growth in satellite deployments and hypersonic testing.
