X15 plane For flight control, also smaller The X-15 was designed as a single-seat, mid-wing monoplane to study high aerodynamic heating rates, stability and control, Discover how the X-15 reached incredible speeds and altitudes, becoming a key player in future NASA missions, including the X-15, rocket-powered research aircraft built in the 1950s by North First flown in 1959, the North American X-15 bridged the gap between human flight in the atmosphere and spaceflight. 15, 1958, the first X-15 hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft rolled out of its factory. The X-15 Because of the large fuel consumption, the X-15 was air launched from a modified B-52 aircraft at 45,000 feet and a speed of about 500 mph. During the Cold War in the 1960s the U. Decades after its record-breaking flights, it’s inspiring a new The X-15 aircraft, ship #1 (56-6670), sits on the lakebed early in its illustrious career of high speed flight research. Designed in the fifties, it got a rocket and small wings and was Vandaag is het 60 jaar geleden dat de Amerikaanse testpiloot Joseph Walker in een X-15-raketvliegtuig 108 kilometer hoog vloog. Designed in the fifties, it got a rocket and small wings and was launched from a NB-52 mother ship at altitude. Three X-15 spaceplanes performed 199 free flights.
