Mach 6 airliner -- a 'what if' video

Might look a little familiar to some folks (it did to me!!) This is a very good channel for all kinds of space what if stuff'

Didn't the tests back in the 1960's with the X-15 generate temperatures greater than 1,200°F in their airframe tests at mach 6? Not sure there'd be people standing in the wings unless they were skeletal charcoal remains.
