Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Bell Aircraft Corporation X-1E loaded into the Boeing B-29 in NACA High-Speed Flight Station service area. The B-29 would carry the X-1E to an altitude of approximately 25,000 feet. If all systems were 'go' the aircraft would be launched. The pilot would activate the rocket engines and follow a pre-determined flight plan for altitude and speed, doing other maneuvers as requested, returning on a glide path to the Rogers Dry Lakebed for a touch down.
