Designed to research the aerodynamic problems associated with flight at supersonic speeds, the X-1 was first flown on January 19th, 1946. It was the first of a series of (often top-secret) experimental aircraft, known as "X-planes", designed for testing new technologies. The X-1's fuselage was intentionally designed to replicate a Browning .50 cal bullet that was known to be stable in supersonic flight. Power came from a four-chamber liquid-fueled rocket engine. After numerous test flights and design refinements, the X-1 ushered in a new era of aviation by becoming the first aircraft to achieve supersonic flight on October 14th, 1947.
