description

Summary

XV-15 (NASA 702) Tiltrotor in airplane flight at Bell Helicopter Co. Bell Photo number 029552

The X-planes are a series of experimental United States aircraft and rockets, used to test and evaluate new technologies and aerodynamic concepts. They have an X designator, which indicates the research mission within the US system of aircraft designations. The first, the Bell X-1, became well known in 1947 after it became the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Most of the X-planes have been operated by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) or, later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), often in conjunction with the United States Air Force. The majority of X-plane testing has occurred at Edwards Air Force Base. Some of the X-planes have been well publicized, while others have been developed in secrecy. Most X-planes are not expected to go into full-scale production.

The plane was built by students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is being piloted by Greek national cycling champion Kanellos Kanellopolous. The flight was patterned after the Greek myth of Daedalus and his son, Icarus, who attempted to leave Crete by constructing wings with which to fly
