As an experimental test pilot General (than Major) Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager test flew this research plane. The X-5 was designed to investigate "the aerodynamic results, in free flight, of variable degrees of sweepback from 20-degrees to 60-degrees". It was also of great importance for the contractor to undertake the design and construction of a successful variable-sweep-wing mechanism. Of equal importance was the ability to determine, from flight tests of the X-5, whether variable-sweep-wings were of practical use to future fighter design.

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