Historic footage of the X-15’s fastest flight on this day, October 3, 1967. This X-15 was modified for even higher speeds including large external fuel tanks, lengthened fuselage, and white sealant as a heat shield. Even still, the X-15 nearly melted but not before Col. Pete Knight flew 4,520 MPH (Mach 6.7). To this day, no one has ever flown faster in an airplane. The X-15 program’s other mothership, NB-52A rests newly restored at Pima with a replica X-15 attached as shown by footage from @bone

X15 Record Flight
The North American X-15 remains the fastest manned aircraft ever built, reaching a record-breaking speed of Mach 6.70. Developed in the 1960s as a joint project between NASA and the U.S. Air Force, this rocket-powered plane was designed to explore the edge of space and the effects of hypersonic flight. ​Flying at 4,520 miles per hour (7,270 km/h), the X-15 reached altitudes exceeding 50 miles, which officially qualified several of its pilots as astronauts. This experimental aircraft provided cri

X-15 Historical Footage!!! The X-15 is a famous and significant part of aviation history. Its purpose was to fly high and fast, testing the machine and subjecting pilots to conditions that future astronauts would face. It made the first manned flights to the edges of space and was the world’s first piloted aircraft to reach hypersonic speeds, or more than five times the speed of sound. The X-15 was an important tool for developing spaceflight in the 1960s, and pilots flying above 50 miles altitu
