Air-launched at an
altitude of 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) from the
bomb bay of a Boeing B-29, the X-1 used its
rocket engine to climb to its test altitude. It
flew a total of 78 times, and on March 26, 1948,
with Yeager at the controls, it attained a speed
of 1,540 kilometers (957 miles) per hour, Mach
1.45, at an altitude of 21,900 meters (71,900
feet). This was the highest velocity and
altitude reached by a manned airplane up to that
time. | |
