So, you wanna ride a rocket plane? Make sure your plane can handle it. The X-15 once went so fast, the air around it became plasma. Wing leading edges becoming blunt edges. Scorched holes in the metal skin. They painted it with ablative heat resistant white paint before launch. "Pete" Knight said this was the only time he was glad he ran out of fuel in a plane. They never tested at this speed again.
