Bell X-1A Rocket Plane
Signed by the Pilot,
Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager
The new generation X-1's were created to investigate aerodynamic
phenomenon above Mach 2 and above 90,000 feet. They were to serve as the next logical step beyond the original
three X-1's, and they would also be utilized to explore more esoteric segment of high-mach, high-altitude envelopes
such as aerodynamic heating, pilot actuated reaction control systems, supersonic armament problems, and miscellaneous
high-speed, high altitude aerodynamic phenomenon. Record speed 12 December 1953 Mach 2.44 (1,650 mph) by Maj.
Charles E. Yeager, USAF.
The model is hand autographed by Gen. Chuck
Yeager and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
