The 13 month, 17-flight SpaceShipOne flight test program included just six rocket powered flights,three of which flew to space (above 100 Km). In comparison, the X-15 program (which included 3 testaircraft) took 3 years 4 months, and 110 flights to reach 50 miles altitude (80.5 Km), and 4 years 4months to reach Space (100 Km altitude).
