Description

A unique Haynes Manual, providing fascinating technical insight into the development and use of rocket planes, specializing in the iconic X-15, which carried out much of the development work for the Apollo and Space Travel space programmes. As of July 2015, the X-15 still holds the world record for the very best speed ever attained by a manned aircraft, at 4,520mph (Mach 6.72)! The X-15 used to be flown by a band of elite test pilots, including the primary man to stroll at the Moon, Neil Armstrong. The X-15 made 199 flights between 1959 and 1968, a couple of of which have been above the line thought to be to be the arbitrary altitude where space begins. The engaging text, extensively illustrated with period photographs and technical illustrations, explains how the vehicle worked, what it pioneered for future applications in more conventional aircraft and manned spacecraft developed by NASA from 1958, and what it used to be like to fly.
