X-15 performance envelope is shown; paper considers operational phase of X-15 and major thermal structural problems encountered, such as landing gear overloading, panel flutter, side-fairing buckling, wing leading-edge skin buckling, windshield heat damage, and internal heat damage; role played by various simulators used in design and operational phases; 3 major accidents which occurred show significance that single malfunction can have in imposing marginal conditions on another system.
