Description
The North American X-15 was a rocket-powered aircraft operated by the
United States Air Force NASA as part of the X-plane series of
experimental aircraft. The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the
early 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with
valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. As of 2012, the
X-15 holds the official world record for the fastest speed ever reached
by a manned rocket-powered aircraft.
This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as
the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our
skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and
history buff!
