North American X-15 Model
A one-twentieth scale model of the X-15, originally suspended beneath the wing of a B-52, is observed by a scientist as it leaves the bomber model in tests to determine the release characteristics and drop motion of the research airplane. The test was conducted in the Langley High Speed 7 x 10 Foot Tunnel, around 1957.
