Douglas X-3 Stiletto. The Douglas X-3 Stiletto experimental jet aircraft was built in 1952 for the US Air Force. It featured a narrow fuselage,tiny wings and a long tapered nose making it the sleekest aircraft for its time. The X-3 performed poorly in test flights and never attained its target speed of Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound). Despite this,several features were taken forward to use in future high speed planes | |
