PDF-(BOOK)-X-15: The World\'s Fastest Rocket Plane and the Pilots Who Ushered in the Space

In X15 the exciting story of the X15 the iconic rocket plane of the Cold War space race is recounted by John Anderson curator of aerodynamics at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum This experimental space plane was on the cutting edge of hypersonic aerodynamics and its winged reentry from space foreshadowed the development of the Space Shuttle decades later Launched from the wing of a modified B52 bomber again foretelling a concept that would be used decades later in this case by Space Ship One and Space Ship Two the ship rocketed higher and faster than any manned aircraft of the time Designed to approach seven times the speed of sound it was the first hypersonic aircraft ever created and was engineered to function both in the Earths atmosphere and at the edge of space Illustrated with period NASA and USAF photographs as well as exclusive Smithsonian photography of the first of three X15s built X15 captures the risks and dangers of the X15 program as Anderson follows the test pilots including Neil Armstrong who pushed the very limits of their piloting skills to master groundbreaking experimental technology Even with the fatal crash of the third X15 the overall success of the program helped pave the way for NASA to continue to the Moon and this is the definitive expertly curated and beautifully illustrated account of its development. General Pilots come aboard ship to assist the crew during the most critical and potentially hazardous phases of a voyage Quali64257ed pilots possess particular local knowledge and have the necessary shiphandling skills to assist the safe arrival and University of New Hampshire Rocket Cats.

Rocket engines are, on the one hand, so simple that you can build and fly your own model rockets very easily. On the other hand, rocket engines (and their fuel systems) are so complicated that only three countries have actually ever put people in orbit.
