The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. As of September 2016, the X-15 holds the official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft.
RE: What does the spanish word &quot;vato&quot; mean? I am reading a novel right now where one character keeps calling the other &quot;vato&quot;, however, when I went to babelfish to get a translation, it said vato means &quot;I beat&quot;. Somehow I don&#39;t think this is the context that the word is being used in.
A volt-ampere (VA) is the unit used for the apparent power in an electrical circuit, equal to the product of root-mean-square (RMS) voltage and RMS current. In direct current (DC) circuits, this product is equal to the real power (active power) in watts.
