Описание: Fifty years ago #OTD, 3 Oct 1967, at Edwards AFB - Major William J. “Pete” Knight flew the modified X-15A-2 to a speed of Mach 6.72. The aircraft was flown with its full ablative coating and external fuel tanks. A dummy ramjet mounted on the lower ventral stub stabilizer fell away during the flight as a result of severe heat damage to the fairing. The flight marked the highest speed achieved in the X-15 program and remains the highest speed ever reached by a manned airplane. The provided video is from a 1999 production, narrated by then Edwards Historian Dr. Jim Young, which describes this historic event. (Edwards History Office file video and photo)
