Strato-Flite

The Strato-Flite, designed by Norm Clark and manufactured by Williams in 1974, is an electromechanical (EM) game built around an outer-space theme, with artwork by Christian Marche depicting a tailless delta-wing aircraft resembling the USAF's Convair B-58 Hustler supersonic bomber.

The machine features an array of gameplay elements that kept players engaged, including three pop bumpers, two slingshots, and 15 standup targets, all while navigating the game's upper and lower ball return gates. An end-of-ball bonus adds a strategic element to each play. With 5,977 confirmed units produced (a two-player version, Super-Flite, was also released), Strato-Flite was a commercially successful title for Williams.

While detailed accounts of its design process are scarce, Strato-Flite remains a solid example of mid-1970s electromechanical space-themed pinball, appealing to collectors interested in that era of Williams' output.
