360 deg. Bell X-1

Post by LZ-WIL »

Hi,

Near the 70th anniversary of the first supersonic flight, I found this 360 degree look inside Chuck Yeager's Bell X-1 and some interesting facts:

The aircraft had an oddly shaped yoke or control column :shock:

and it had no throttle lever, but buttons instead...
