Timeline October 14, 1947: The Bell X-1 became the first airplane to fly faster than the speed of sound. Less than 30 days earlier, the former United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) became the newly formed United States Air Force (USAF). On this day, the X-1 was air-launched at an altitude of 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) from the bomb bay of a specially modified Boeing B-29. Piloted by U.S. Air Force Capt. Charles E. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Chuck\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, the X-1 reached a speed of 1,127 Kilometers (700 Miles) per hour, Mach 1.06, at an altitude of 13,000 meters (43,000 feet). The X-1 was fueled by a volatile mixture of alcohol and liquid oxygen. Yeager named the airplane \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Glamorous Glennis\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in tribute to his wife.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the Modeler: I believe this is the third release of the Bell X-1 1\/32 scale kit. For you kit collectors, the first release is kit number #4565 with orange colored plastic and the second release is kit #85-4565 with gray colored plastic. This Revell kit #85-5862 is a skill level 2 with a 50 parts count in clear and gray colored plastic. The length of the finished model is 12-3\/4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and a wing span of 10-5\/8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. The kit features a fully detailed cockpit with an optional pilot figure, an optional rocket engine, an opening cockpit door and a large decal sheet with authentic markings for four versions.<\/span><\/p>\n
