NASA X-15 History:
The North American X-15 was a
rocket-powered research aircraft that
was part of the USAF/NASA/USN X-
series of experimental aircraft.
Designed to explore the problems of
flight at very high speeds and
altitudes, it bridged the gap between
manned flight in the atmosphere
and space flight. After its initial test
flights in 1959, the X-15 became the
first winged aircraft to attain
hypersonic velocities of Mach 4, 5,
and 6 and to operate at altitudes
above 30,500 meters.
Three X-15s were built in all,
and they made a total of 199 test
flights, the last one on October 24,
1968. Plans were made for a 200th
X-15 flight to be launched over Smith
Ranch, Nevada, scheduled for
November 21, 1968. However,
various technical and weather
delays caused the planned launch
to slip at least six times until late
December 1968. Finally after a
cancellation on December 20, 1968
due to weather, it was decided that
there would not be a 200th flight.
X-15 #1 was sent to the National
Air and Space Museum in
Washington, DC. X-15 #2 is on
display at the National Museum of
the United States Air Force at Wright-
Patterson Air Force Base near
Dayton, Ohio. X-15 #3 was
destroyed in a crash on November
15, 1967.
