@qexec1173 This aircraft is a flying observatory, SOFIA stands for "Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy". It will fly at a high altitude in order to avoid problems that ordinary observatories have with haze, smog, clouds, etc. This video was showing in flight testing of opening the door which covers the telescope.

@AaronO220 research into air planes. I think this one is to gather data on what happens when the fuselage is breached.In turn, people can design planes to withstand such damage better.
