X-15 Model

2716. "X-15" Prototype Model

An awesome black/white painted wooden North American Aviation prototype contractor's model that separates horizontally to show the air intake scoops and the interior fuel tanks. Note the duck-billed nose and the angled elevators. The model is painted in U.S. Air Force colors and stands on five wheels. There are slight faults, but this model is both striking and probably unique. It appears to be a variation of the NACA Ames Mach 10 Technology Demonstrator as illustrated in the 1987 book The Hypersonic Revolution offered in the High Altitude section of this catalog.

$750-1000
