The X-15 rocket-powered
spaceplane was arguably the most important -- and famous -- X-plane of the
Cold War Era. Prior to the X-15 program's abrupt cancellation in
1968, the Air Force was drafting ambitious plans for the aircraft,
including a "next generation" X-15-D that would test the limits of
hypersonic flight (Mach 5+) using an exotic new hydrogen-fueled scramjet
engine.
Unfortunately, the X-15-D never made it past the drawing board. Had the program been allowed to continue, the X-15-D would have no doubt added further luster to the X-15's sterling legacy. |
