Built by North American Aviation (NAA), the X-15 hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft greatly expanded knowledge of flight at speeds exceeding Mach 6 and altitudes above 250,000 feet.
The X-15’s first powered flight took place on Sept. 17, 1959, at the Flight Research Center, now the Armstrong Flight Research Center, at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in California.
Between 1959 and 1968, 12 pilots completed 199 missions and achieved ever higher speeds and altitudes, knowledge and experience that later influenced the development of future programs such as the space shuttle.
