Chapter 6 – Advances in Aeronautics

Today’s Mission Requirements Discuss the flights of the X-15 Discuss the XB-70 EQ: Explain the advances in aeronautics and its impact on aircraft development.

X-15

Aeronautical Research The X-15 Air Force, Navy, and NACA joint project to build an airplane that would fly at: 4,500 mph reach 250,000 feet. Speed & altitude - surfaces reach 1200 degrees

Aeronautical Research The X-15 Constructed of nickel- steel alloy (Inconel X) The X-15 was 50 ft long with a 22 ft wingspan. It weighed 33,000 lbs – of which 18,000 lbs was fuel. It was rocket-powered and launched from a B-52.

Aeronautical Research The X-15 The first flight was in Sept 1959 and reached a speed of 1,400 mph. The first eight flights were piloted by Scott Crossfield.

Aeronautical Research The X-15 The flights continued through 1967 performing over 200 flights. Both goals exceeded. It reached a speed of 4,534 mph (Mach 6.72), and reached an altitude of 314,750 feet. 75 miles a minute 1.25 miles a second 6600 feet per second

Aeronautical Research The XB-70 In 1954, the US wanted to build a supersonic replacement for the B-52. The result was the XB-70.

Aeronautical Research The XB-70 The XB-70 flew at 2,000 mph and reached an altitude of 70,000 feet. Its initial flight was in 1964. 2nd prototype was destroyed in mid-air collision Congress decided that the Air Force did not need a supersonic bomber and canceled the program.
