  • SUPERSONIC Bell X-1E is original X-1 6063 rebuilt with new thin (4 per cent) wing made by Stanley Aviation Corporation and revised Skyrocket-type canopy. Fuel capacity is increased by employing turbine pumps in place of nitrogen to force the fuel to the motor (as in other later X-1 variants); an ejection seat is fitted. It is hoped the thin wing will permit higher speeds than attained by the Mach 2.5 X-1A.
