Putting it very much simplified, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, consists of a German telescope in a NASA aircraft. The 747SP as a platform allows for 10 hour missions typically at 41,000ft or more, above almost all water vapour that would block parts of infrared light. SOFIA was decommissioned the following year, flying its last mission out of Palmdale, CA in the night of 27 and 28 September 2022.

The LFU 205 is one of the first powered aircraft made of fibreglass (GRP -glass fibre reinforced plastic). In the 1960s, Germany had something of a head start with GRP used for aviation purposes glider construction and helicopter rotor blades. This knowledge was to be utilised with the LFU 205 prototype in order to gain experience with highly stressed GRP components. The first flight took place in March, 1968 and after all GRP flight-testing and research had been completed the aricraft was transferred to the DLR. The LFU was wfu in 2017 and flown to Schleissheim for display.
