X-3 Stiletto Experimental Aircraft by TMC Pacific Modelworks
Item Number: MXCX3The X-3 made its first flight on September 20, 1952. The X-3 made its first flight at Edwards AFB on October 20, 1952, with Douglas pilot Bill Bridgeman in the cockpit. The X-3 was powered by two afterburning 4,850lb thrust Westinghouse J34-WE-17 turbojet engines, although it was planned to have two afterburning 7,000lb thrust Westinghouse J46-WE-1 turbojets. Because the aircraft was severely underpowered, the aircraft could barely reach supersonic speeds unless it dove from a high altitude. The aircraft was retired after only 51 total flights.
