X-51A failed 16 seconds into flight

The third X-51A flight failed just 16 seconds after its rocket booster ignited. The U.S. Air Force attributed the problem to a faulty control fin.

According to the press release, this particular control subsystem had proven reliable in the previous two flights of the X-51A.
