For a few seconds it generated 70% of its rated thrust, and White thrilled to its surge. Then he throttled back to a more prudent 50% and put the X-15 into a 30° climb.

The rest of the air is directed into the engine's burning chamber. The engine produces 20% more thrust than a regular jet engine of similar capacity, while burning 20% less fuel on a transcontinental flight...
