About the Bell X-1

On 14 October 1947, the Bell X-1 rocket-powered experimental aircraft, piloted by test pilot Chuck Yeager, became the first aeroplane to fly faster than the speed of sound. The aircraft was air-launched from the belly of a Second World War bomber at an altitude of 7,000 metres. Yeager named it "Glamorous Glennis" in tribute to his wife.
