How fast did the X-15 rocket plane fly?
4,520 mph. That is Mach 6.7, almost seven times the speed of sound, and no crewed airplane has beaten it since.
How close would your guess have been?
In the game we ask it like this: “What top speed in mph did the rocket-powered X-15 plane reach in 1967?”
Type a number — scored exactly the way a round in the game is.
The answer
4,520mph
4,520 mph in other units
