The Bell® X-1™ (experimental super-
sonic) was built specifically to probe the
regime of supersonic flight. Measuring
only 31 feet in length, the X-1 was a sin-
gle-seat design powered by a four-cham-
bered rocket motor that was fueled by a
volatile mixture of alcohol and liquid oxy-
gen. It was designed to be carried aloft
in the belly of a B-29 Superfortress and
launched in free fall for its assault on the
sound barrier. On October 14th 1947 his-
tory was achieved when at an altitude of
42,000 in level flight the X-1 accelerated
to Mach 1.07 and shattered the peaceful
day with the rumble of the world’s first
sonic boom created by a manned aircraft.
Your Revell model features a fully
detailed cockpit with optional seated pilot
figure, rocket engine and optional open
or closed cockpit door and decals with
authentic markings for four versions.
