Product description
X-Planes explores the fascinating world of America’s experimental aircraft – the “X-planes” that pushed the boundaries of aviation technology from the dawn of the jet age to today’s hypersonic research. From the record-breaking Bell X-1 that broke the sound barrier to the stealthy X-47B and futuristic X-59 Quiet Supersonic Transport, this bookazine will chart how the United States used its X-plane programme to test radical ideas that shaped the aircraft of tomorrow. Featuring stunning imagery, rare archival material and insight from Kevin Wright, it reveals the untold stories of the pilots, engineers and secret programmes that defined aviation innovation.
