Well, if a person WERE to do a cluster with an X-15, the logical cluster would be two engines.

Because the early X-15 flights were with two XLR-11 engines (like the X-1 used), because the big and much more powerful XLR-99 engine was not ready yet.



And, yeah, technically each engine had 4 nozzles, and could actually be fired individually. But I would not hold out much hope for success of an 8-engine clustered X-15 using A10-3T's (even if they could fit in the Apogee kit, which I doubt)
