Title : X-15A-2 and HL-10 parked on NASA ramp
Caption :
The HL-10 is shown next to the X-15A-2 in 1966. Both aircraft later went on to set records. On October 3, 1967, the X-15A-2 reached a speed of Mach 6.7, which was the highest speed achieved by a piloted aircraft until the Space Shuttles far exceeded that speed in 1981 and afterwards. The HL-10 later became the fastest piloted lifting body when it flew at a speed of Mach 1.86 on February 18, 1970.
