North American X-15
Hello everyone! Hope you enjoy this X-15
I didn't make it go 4000 mph because it is not fun to fly around and it's uncontrollable then so yeah!
Note: take off from air
History:
The North American X-15 was a hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the X-plane series of experimental aircraft. The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. The X-15's official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft, set in October 1967 when William J. "Pete" Knight flew Mach 6.72 at 102,100 feet (31,120 m), a speed of 4,520 miles per hour (7,274 km/h) which has remained unchallenged as of January 2017.
During the X-15 program, 13 flights by eight pilots met the Air Force spaceflight criterion by exceeding the altitude of 50 miles (80 km), thus qualifying these pilots as being astronauts. The Air Force pilots qualified for astronaut wings immediately, while the civilian pilots were eventually awarded NASA astronaut wings in 2005, 35 years after the last X-15 flight. The only Navy pilot in the X-15 program never took the aircraft above the requisite 50 mile altitude and so as a result, never earned himself astronaut wings.
Ps: not alot of people will read this but the one's who will will know thar my next build will be the b-52A

@Zanbradcr3per ok
I absolutely love this build ngl.
@Fox00One I know that okay?
I made a afterburner with it nice buliding
@Zanbradcr3per it's actually not controllable irl
if its not controllable ill make it controllable
Make another plane and please make it a tribute to someone
amazing!
I love anything NASA. Awesome detail.
@rubbishcraft
For what?
and also you should check out my Astrofighter plane, it's top speed is 7000-10000mph ... but you may also fly it in low speed, 3000-4000mph to have fun in flying...
now I know, this is the fastest plane till now...
Would you please spotlight my BB? Very few people looked at it... Thanks!
@Delosofy
Thanks alot!!
When is the best time to upload? @SimpleFlow
I might have modified it.... and it might have gone 10,000mph....
@EliteIndustries1
That would be around 1500 parts! My tablet can only handle 800
It does go 4000+ at about 100 000ft
I can't wait to see how the B-52 will turn out!
PUT THE X-15 ON DA B-52 LOLOLOLOL
@MechWARRIOR57
Thanks
really nice!
I think it was an NB-52B "Balls 8" that dropped the plane.
They call it "Balls 8" because its tail number was "52-008".
Ok sorry i forget that
@090328
Ehh
I don't make modern fighters
