NORTH AMERICAN X-15 by Massimo Altieri
The North American X-15 was the first manned aircraft to cross
the gap between the flight in the atmosphere and space flight. 
Test flights started in 1959, and in 10 years the X-15 became 
the fastest winged aircraft, reaching hypersonic velocities above 
Mach 6,7 and operating at altitudes above 30,000 meters. 
The X-15 flew 199 times (200th flight was repeatedly cancelled)
between 1959 and 1968.
THE MODEL
This model was created with FSDS2. 
Many hours of work were dedicated to the internal virtual cockpit
and illumination effects.
FSDS2 easily allows animated parts and so there are a lot, included
opening canopy, moving pilot head, airbrakes, rocket flame, etc.
The aerodynamic and the engine features are much different from
other aircrafts. You can easily reach MACH 3.5 and high altitudes
in seconds and still land quite easily.
Simulated runway take-off.
Custom gauges and sounds included in package.
