Virgin Galactic's Spaceship VSS Unity set a new speed and altitude record during its second flight into space, which carried a passenger onboard for the first time. During the flight, in which VSS Unity carried NASA research payloads, the spacecraft reached an apogee of nearly 300,000 feet.

The systems can be installed directly by the aircraft builder and will require between 48 and 78 hours of installation, depending upon aircraft systems.
