The design, construction, and development of advanced military aircraft undoubtedly will involve the utilization of many relatively new concepts in several deafferent, but related, areas. In many cases, these new concepts will require new flight techniques or involve development problems inherent in the use of relatively unproven methods, materials, structures, systems, and configurations. Moreover, flight verification will be required of aircraft aerodynamics and flight behavior because of the usual uncertainties associated with predicted data. Solutions to these problems obviously would require flight testing involving extensive time and effort before the aircraft could become operationally acceptable. Upon the inception of the X-15 research airplane project, many new and far-reaching techniques and principles were studied and applied in the aircraft design and are currently being demonstrated and investigated. Because similar concepts are likely to be used in advanced military aircraft, the X-15 flight program will provide significant information, over a broad flight environment, pertinent to the development of these vehicles. This paper discusses the research objectives of the X-15 flight program, some of the flight aerodynamic characteristics currently being obtained, some development problems encountered, and the experience obtained with the advanced systems investigated.
