General (than Major) Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager made a number of test flights in the exotic research plane. The X-3 was designed to explore high-speed aerodynamic phenomenon to speeds of Mach 2. Additionally, it was to prove the feasibility of using low-aspect-ratio, high-load wings, and titanium construction in aircraft. It was delivered to the NACA High-Speed Flight Station in August of 1954. Although it made some significant contributions to our knowledge about "inertial coupling", it had a tendency to diverge from the flight path at near supersonic speeds, and the X-3 never lived up to it's expectations as a Mach 2 aircraft.

The model is hand autographed by Gen. Chuck Yeager and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
