For nearly a decade (June 8, 1959 - October 24, 1968) the X-15 flew 199 times supplying countless reports of data for aerodynamics, high altitude (exit and reentry of atmosphere), hypersonic speeds, and physiological effects on pilot. During this time the X-15 set the altitude record of 354,200 feet and top speed record of Mach 6.7 (4,520 miles per hour). Because of the massive speeds needed to be attained by the X-15, most of its weight, 31,275 pounds, was fuel that later burned off. The X-15 was very slender: twenty-two foot wingspan, fifty feet in length, and thirteen feet in height. The design was more of a missile type than that of a plane. This was needed…
