Development
To facilitate development of the long-range [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], North American Aviation developed the RTV-A-5, or X-10 in [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
This vehicle was to prove out critical flight technology for the design of the cruise vehicle of the Navaho missile design.
These included proving the basic aerodynamics out to Mach 2, flight testing the inertial guidance unit and flight control[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] to the same speed, and finally validate the recovery system for the next phase in the Navaho program.

Preliminary design of the X-10 was completed in February of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and the first vehicle was delivered to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] in May of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The first flight occurred on October 14, 1953.
The X-10 was powered by two [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] engines with afterburners, and equipped with landing gear for
conventional take off and landing.

The combination of a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] with an all-moving [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] gave it extremely good aerodynamics in the trans-sonic and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] environments.
It also made the vehicle unstable requiring active computer flight control in the form of an [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

Thus, the X-10 is similar to modern military fighters which are flown by the onboard computer and not directly by the pilot.
In this same regard, though the X-10 was receiving directional commands from a radio-command guidance system, these commands were sent through the on-board computer which in turn implemented the commands.

Service history
At the time it came into service, the X-10 was one of the fastest turbojet-powered aircraft flown.
From 1953 to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] a total of five X-10s flew 15 flights at Edwards AFB.
There it reached a maximum flight speed of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] 1.84, flew a distance of 400 mi (644 km), and reached an altitude of 41,000 feet.

These were performance levels superior to nearly all manned turbojet aircraft (the exception being the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]).
In 1955 the program moved to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] to complete the test program.
Here a new set of six X-10 vehicles would complete the testing of the N-6 inertial navigation system out to supersonic speeds, reach 49,000 feet altitude, a total flight distance of 627 mi (1,009 km) and a peak speed of Mach 2.05.

Disposition
Of all the X-10s built, only one survived the test program: serial 51-9307, the first X-10 to ever fly.
Of the other four aircraft that flew at Edwards AFB, one blew-up on take-off, one was lost in flight and the remaining two were destroyed in landing accidents.
As for the vehicles flown at Cape Canaveral, three were expended in planned dive-in flights against [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], and two were lost in landing accidents.

In [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] the remaining three Cape Canaveral X-10s were selected for use as high speed targets for the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
surface-to-air missile.
The plan was to recover and reuse the X-10, not to have them shot down by the BOMARC.
Unfortunately, none of these vehicles would complete their target flight: two were lost on landing and the third suffered a mechanical problem forcing it to be flown into the Atlantic.

Survivors
- The sole surviving X-10 s/n 51-9307 is located at the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] in Dayton,
Ohio. This was the first X-10 to fly. The aircraft was delivered to the Air Force Museum in 1957, upon completion of the program. It is displayed in the Museum's Research & Development Hanger.
