North American X-15 X-15 Flight Records
The North American X-15 remains the fastest manned aircraft ever built, reaching a record-breaking speed of Mach 6.70. Developed in the 1960s as a joint project between NASA and the U.S. Air Force, this rocket-powered plane was designed to explore the edge of space and the effects of hypersonic flight. ​Flying at 4,520 miles per hour (7,270 km/h), the X-15 reached altitudes exceeding 50 miles, which officially qualified several of its pilots as astronauts.

North American X-15 X-15 Pilots
North American X-15A-2 Three X-15s were built, and they made 199 flights between 1959-1968. The program was a joint U.S. Air Force/Navy/NASA project, and four of its 12 pilots were U.S. Air Force officers. One pilot, USAF Maj. Michael J. Adams, died in an X-15 crash in 1967. Another X-15 pilot, Neil Armstrong, later became the first man to walk on the moon. #dronevideo #x15 | National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
