When it came to the 302 engine, the Z/28 was not without its detractors. The complaints didn’t stem from the engine’s innate ability to wind to high rpm. Instead, questions arose about the 302’s merits as a street performance engine. Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus Duntov called the 302 “an artificial engine built to meet an artificial class limit."

Following a flight in 1960, Neil Armstrong, at the time a test pilot for NASA, stands next to the very first X-15 rocket plane.

The X-15's official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a crewed, powered aircraft, set in October 1967 when William J. Knight flew at Mach 6.70 at 102,100 feet (31,120 m), a speed of 4,520 miles per hour (7,274 km/h; 2,021 m/s), has remained unbroken as of 2020
