I wrote a comprehensive article on the X-3 for the Sept. 83 issue of Airpower magazine. Maybe one of you still has it. -SP

Douglas X-3 Stiletto

The twin-turbojet X-3, the only one built, was designed to test sustained flight at twice the speed of sound. It also explored the use of very short wings and titanium airframe construction.Engine
