![]() The twin-turbojet X-3 "Stiletto," the only one built, was designed to test features of an aircraft suitable for sustained flights at supersonic speeds and high altitudes. Its secondary mission was to investigate the use of new materials such as titanium and to explore new construction techniques. It made its first supersonic flight in June 1953.
