Abstract: The results of observations made aboard the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, with its 91-cm telescope and the Lear Jet with its 30-cm system, are summarized, and instrumental advances accomplished for NASA aircraft facilities are described. Information has been obtained about the ring brightness of Saturn, a new broadband feature in carbon stars and two planetary nebulae, the temperature of dust globules, rotational transitions of CO in the Kleinmann-Low nebula, and far infrared emission from a quasar. Improvements in the minimum signals reported for photometry and spectrometry are described, and possibilities for improvements in the polarization, time resolution measurements, and in angular limitations are addressed.
