Easily the most literal of the "X Planes" the X-15 is extremely unique. With no less than 4 booms and a crew of 2 the aircraft carries the most separated engines of 1 of my designs. For takeoff set power to 20% and pull up at 130mph, before throttling to max once in air. Landing requires extreme care but is possible. Inspired by the 4-nacelle ships in Star Trek, particularly the Cardenas Class.
