Image description

Ground crew with Douglas X-3 Stiletto experimental jet aircraft on tarmac of Edwards Air Force Base, 1952. Douglas X-3 Stiletto experimental jet aircraft with a slender fuselage and a tapered nose mission was to investigate the design features of an aircraft suitable for sustained supersonic speeds, which included the first use of titanium in major airframe components. Douglas designed the X-3 with the goal of a maximum speed of approximately 2,000 mph but it was seriously underpowered for this purpose and could not even exceed Mach 1 in level flight.
