Bell X-1 in flight, the first supersonic aircraft
First supersonic aircraft. Bell X-1 aircraft used by Charles " Chuck" Yeager to fly faster than sound on 14 October 1947. The X-1 was carried into the air under a converted B-29 bomber, and released at 6800 metres altitude over Muroc, California, USA. The X-1 was powered by a four-chamber XLR-11 rocket engine that generated 26.5 kilonewtons of thrust. This pushed the aircraft to a speed of 1078 kilometres per hour at an altitude of 12, 800 metres - equivalent to 1.015 times the speed of sound. Yeager unofficially named the aircraft " Glamorous Glennis" after his wife. It is now displayed in a museum in Washington DC, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Bell X-1 aircraft soaring through the skies, marking a groundbreaking moment in aviation history. Known as the first supersonic aircraft, this remarkable feat was achieved by Charles "Chuck". Yeager on 14 October 1947. The Bell X-1 was ingeniously carried into the air beneath a converted B-29 bomber before being released at an altitude of 6800 meters over Muroc, California. Powered by a powerful four-chamber XLR-11 rocket engine generating an impressive 26.5 kilonewtons of thrust, this technological marvel propelled the aircraft to reach speeds of up to 1078 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 12,800 meters – equivalent to surpassing the speed of sound by a factor of 1.015. In homage to his beloved wife Glennis, Yeager affectionately named this pioneering aircraft "Glamorous Glennis". Today, it stands proudly displayed in a museum located in Washington DC, USA – serving as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding pursuit for pushing boundaries. This extraordinary image encapsulates not only Chuck Yeager's audacious spirit but also represents mankind's relentless quest for progress and exploration. It serves as a reminder that with determination and innovation, we can conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges and redefine what is possible in transportation and technology.
