X-1B Pogramme amélioration NACA

Model Description:

The XS-1 (renamed X-1 in 1962) is an experimental American aircraft powered by a rocket engine. It is famously known as the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight on October 14, 1947. Specifically developed for this purpose under the X-Planes research program by the USAAF and NACA (predecessor of NASA), it was built by Bell Aircraft Corporation.

Resembling a bullet with tiny wings and a rocket engine, it was designed to be air-dropped from a B-29A Superfortress bomber.

This was the second test version of the aircraft.
