Reenactment of first supersonic flight
Hi All.
It's hard to realize that the Bell X-1 first flew more than 60 years ago in 1947. I remember reading at the time about the British experimental aircraft that disintegrated as they neared the sound barrier and the pilots who were killed. I think that Chuck Yeager, the X-1 pilot is still with us.
Keep the sound on tour computer as you watch this. Also note what some hobbyists can do with their model airplanes.
