Synopsis
Recounts the story of the X-15 research airplane, which reached Mach 6.7 and 354,200 feet during the 1960s due to its million horsepower rocket engine. The authors depict the construction of the three aircraft in the program, the flights launched, and the pilots who flew them. Five hundred plus colo, - The X-15 is the only vehicle so far that has been flown by a pilot (rather than a computer) into space and back. It routinely survived re-entry temperatures over 2,000 degrees Farenheit.- The X-15 is the fastest airplane ever built-over twice as fast as the SR-71 Blackbird! It was also the highest-flying aircraft ever built; five Air Force pilots became astronauts flying the X-15 into near-space.- Contains an incredible number of never-before-seen images and new color profile drawings.
