To reduce reliance on runways, a Zero-Length Launch (ZELL) system was conceived to blast F-104s into the sky with booster rockets. The concept worked well but was prohibitively expensive. This aircraft carried out eight ZELL take-offs at Edwards AFB in 1963, coded DA-102, and another seven at Lechfeld in 1966.

Arguably one of the most interesting exhibits at the Luftwaffenmuseum der Bundeswehr Gatow. The ZLL (zero-length launch) version was a rocket-assisted take-off forerunner of STOL/VTOL aircraft being intended to get airborne from a mobile launch vehicle in the event that home base runway had been put out of action. The system actually worked quite well but was undermined and eventually discarded due to the high cost per launch.

To reduce reliance on runways, a Zero-Length Launch (ZELL) system was conceived to blast F-104s into the sky from trucks with booster rockets. Apparently this worked well but was prohibitively expensive. This F-104G was built by Lockheed in 1960. It carried out eight ZELL take-offs at Edwards AFB in 1963, coded DA-102, and seven more at Lechfeld in 1966.
