George is correct, The damage was from the shockwave impingement on the
ventral by the dummy scramjet "George Ruch" wrote in message I remember seeing the aftermath of the hypersonic flight on one of the cable channels (History? Discovery Wings?) but haven't yet found the site. IIRC, the damage that grounded X-15 #2 was from the thermal environment. I have a mental picture of the rear of the aircraft (horizontal stab, skin near the engine bell) burned through. Will keep looking. | George Ruch | "Is there life in Clovis after Clovis Man?"
