Product Information (Product Code: 9KEIE3)

The North American X-15 rocket-powered aircraft was part of the X-series of experimental aircraft, initiated with theX-1, that were made for the USAF, the NASA, and the USN . The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the early 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. It currently holds the world record for the fastest speed ever reached by an aircraft. During the X-15 program, 13 flights (by eight pilots) met the USAF spaceflight criteria by exceeding the altitude of 50 miles (80.47 km), thus qualifying the pilots for astronaut status; some pilots also qualified for NASA astronaut wings.Of all the X-15 missions, two flights (by the same pilot) qualified as space flights, per the international FAI definition of a spaceflight by exceeding a 100 kilometer (62.137 mi, 328,084 ft) altitude.
