Historical Description:

The North American X-15-1 was an American experimental rocket plane constructed as part of a research program conducted by NASA and the U.S. Air Force during the Cold War (1950s and 60s). This model reflects the first version of the X-15, equipped with two XLR-11 engines, which enabled groundbreaking tests in the upper layers of the atmosphere and at the edge of space. The X-15-1 set a number of speed records (over 7,200 km/h) and altitude records, directly contributing to the development of American astronautics and space flights. Its first flight took place in 1959, and the program was concluded in 1968 after 199 research missions.
