The Bell X-1 Breaks the Sound Barrier Over the Mojave

Captain Chuck Yeager, drop-launched from a B-29 over the Mojave Desert, took X-1 #46-062 "Glamorous Glennis" to Mach 1.06 – the first piloted aeroplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight. It was XS-1 flight number 50.

The first manned supersonic flight took place on 14 October 1947 over the Mojave Desert, less than a month after the U.S. Air Force was created as a separate service.^[1]
Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager flew aircraft #46-062, nicknamed Glamorous Glennis for his wife.^[1]
The aeroplane was drop-launched from the bomb bay of a B-29 and reached Mach 1.06, about 700 mph.^[1]
After the engine burned out it glided to a landing on the dry lake bed; this was XS-1 flight number 50.^[1]
Britain had pursued the same goal with the turbojet-powered Miles M.52, cancelled in February 1946 with a first flight expected that summer.^[1]

Notable features

The X-1 was a joint NACA–U.S. Army Air Forces–U.S. Air Force research project built by Bell Aircraft, and the first of the X-planes.^[1]
Bell chose rocket power over turbojets, and shaped the X-1 like a .50-calibre machine-gun bullet, known to be stable in supersonic flight, with the pilot behind a sloped, framed window in the nose and no ejection seat.^[1]
Its Reaction Motors XLR11 four-chamber rocket burned ethyl alcohol diluted with water with liquid oxygen; each chamber could be switched on or off, giving up to 6,000 lbf (27 kN) of thrust and about five minutes of powered flight.^[1]
On NACA’s advice the elevator was mounted on an adjustable horizontal stabilizer, so the whole tailplane could be moved to deal with large trim changes in transonic flight.^[1]
It was 30 ft 11 in (9.42 m) long with a 28 ft (8.53 m) wingspan, and weighed 7,000 lb (3,175 kg) empty and 12,250 lb (5,557 kg) gross.^[1]

NASA is moving forward with their plans to create a quieter supersonic jet that can cut travel times in half. The quiet plane will fly up to 55,000 feet at supersonic speeds. The new prototype will run on two engines and in theory, it could cut the flight time from New York to Los Angeles in half from 6 to 3 hours.
