\n Bell X-1 was the first piloted aircraft to break the sound barrier. Key record-setting aircraft in US history. (109 characters)\n <\/li>\n
\n North American X-15 set speed record, reached hypersonic speeds, conducted valuable high-altitude research. (106 characters)\n <\/li>\n
\n NASA X-43 achieved world records for speed, fastest jet-powered aircraft, superseded by the X-51 program. (113 characters)\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Over the years, numerous X-planes have been built for various research and experimental purposes. Some programs were canceled for various reasons, while others made it to the air and proved to be successful research airplanes. Several experimental planes hold world records, particularly for speeds and altitudes. This article explores some of the renowned X-planes in US history.\n <\/p>\n
\n Maximum speed: 1,612 mph (2,594 km\/h, 1,401 kn)\n <\/li>\n
\n Service ceiling: 70,000 ft (21,000 m)\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Bell X-1 is a supersonic research project conducted by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and the US Army Air Forces (USAAF), built by Bell Aircraft. Built in the mid-1940s, the aircraft performed its first flight in January 1946.\n <\/p>\n
