X15 Skin Paint Heat Test at High Suborbital Flight
Edwards Air Force base conducted a test on the X15 rocket plane to measure skin heating as it ascends and reenters, with engineers noting a peak around 1,100 to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit during brief runs. Pilot Joseph A. Walker flew at 92,000 feet and 3,750 mph for eight seconds to simulate conditions near reentry. Maj. Robert White previously reached 1,200 degrees at 314,750 feet during a high-temperature ascent, but the recent flight involved lower altitude heating for a sustained moment.
