Decals are included for USAF and Nasa schemes.\n\nSkill Level 2.\n\nOne of the major steps in America's program to conquer space was the X-15 Project. The stated aims of the project were to discover how well an aircraft can be controlled in near-space environment, and what problems are inherent in re-entering the atmosphere in a piloted aircraft.\n\nIn order to gain as much altitude as possible witout expending fuel from the X-15's limited supply, the aircraft is carried aloft nested under the wing of a modified B-52 Jet Bomber. In the fuselage of the bomber rides a crew of technicians who service the X-15 during the climb to the launch point. This David and Goliath combination was a very significant step in aviation history.","brand":"HRP DISTRIBUTING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40717754761425,"sku":"AANH273","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2538\/0562\/products\/1175_Boeing_B-52_X-15.jpg?v=1644104793","url":"https:\/\/www.adventurehobbiesandtoys.com\/products\/1-175-boeing-b-52-x-15","provider":"Adventure Hobbies \u0026 Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
