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.

Today marks 65 years since the first powered flight of the X-15 rocket-powered aircraft, flown by test pilot Scott Crossfield. In the 9-minute flight, Crossfield reached a speed of Mach 2.11, or 1,393 miles per hour, and an altitude of 52,341 feet. The three X-15s went on to fly a total of 199 times over nine years, setting speed and altitude records, and contributing to NASA's human spaceflight programs! 📘 More about this historic flight: https://go.nasa.gov/3XMcJdY | NASA History
