X-3 Stiletto – History and Use

The Lockheed X-3 Stiletto was an American experimental jet aircraft designed to test high-speed capabilities and new construction technologies. Its first flight took place in 1952 as part of a program run by NASA and the United States Air Force (USAF). Although the X-3 did not achieve the intended supersonic speeds, its tests were groundbreaking for later aerodynamic solutions, used for example in the F-104 Starfighter. The aircraft was used exclusively by the USA during the Cold War from 1952 to 1956.
