The North American X-15 was an experimental Air Force and NASA Hypersonic Rocket powered aircraft that was used to investigate materials, aerodynamic design, and control systems associated with high altitude boost and reentry. Launched from an NB-52 mothership the X-15 would engage its rocket motor and perform what was then termed a space leap: leave the atmosphere, enter the fringes of outer space and perform a re-entry. Over 50 years later, the X-15 still holds the speed record as the fastest man powered aircraft: Mach 6.72
