The Bell X-1 Super Plane

4 comments

    This is a model of the Bell X-1 Superplane, otherwise known as the Glamorous Glennis. This piece of machinery was the first man-made object to travel faster than the speed of sound. In other words, it made a sonic boom. The feat was accomplished on October 14, 1947, by the pilot Chuck Yeager. The Bell X-1 reached a speed of 700 miles per hour. It's colored bright orange, with red and blue insignias on the tail end and wings. Please support, this took a while to make and a lot of research and reference to pluck out the details. Thank you for viewing, and make sure to leave a comment!
