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 a joint hypersonic research program with NASA, the Air Force, the Navy, and North American Aviation, Inc. It was developed to provide in-flight data on aerodynamics, structures, flight controls, and the physiological aspects of high-speed, high-altitude flight. The X-15 proved that piloted high-performance aircraft can be flown in space, and identified 25 specific accomplishments which contributed to the development of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo manned spaceflight programs, and

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

On Aug. 22, 1963, U.S. Air Force Captain Joe Walker flew an X-15 space plane higher than any pilot had ever flown before. Walker reached an altitude of over 67 miles (108 kilometers). That's about 5 miles (8 km) above the edge of space! Walker experienced about five minutes of weightlessness over the course of the 11-minute flight. This was the second and final suborbital spaceflight of the X-15 program. Walker piloted both flights and became the first person to go to space twice. For both fligh
