Results of X-15 Program pertaining to terminal phase of flight and how these can be useful in developing horizontal landing techniques for future gliding re-entry vehicles; X-15 is stubby-winged rocket powered aircraft which is air launched from B-52mother ship; development of techniques and some flight test results; effects of wing loading, lift-drag ratio, visibility, handling qualities, speed brakes, and trim changes are analyzed as they pertain to low lift/ drag landings of X-15 and other configurations; use of in-flight landing simulator to provide pilot training and maintain pilot proficiency is emphasized.
