Meet the X-15: It Flew At 4,250 Miles Per Hour
Quote:
The aircraft reached speeds of Mach 6 and reached altitudes of 250,000 feet along the “edge of outer space,”as described by aerospaceweb.org
The aerospaceweb.org article says that in 1967, the X-15 reached what was at the time a world record speed of 4,520 miles per hour, making it the highest speed ever recorded by a crewed, powered aircraft.
