F-104 SURE Project Drawings - Acceleration Limitations

A funny cartoon from the S.U.R.E. (Starfighter Utilization Reliability Effort) project. Drawings by P.P "Pete" Trevisan, Aeritalia/FIAT test pilots in the early 60s.
The purpose of the S.U.R.E. project was to highlight the F-104 limitations and operation restrictions to the aircrew in order to reduce the then very-high loss rate experienced by the European F-104 operators.
