B29 Carries XS-1 Rocket Plane Aloft -- The Army's XS-1 rocket-propelled plane, built by Bell Aircraft and designed for supersonic speed of 1700 miles per hour, is carried aloft by a B-29 to an altitude of 25,000 feet where it was cast loose for its first flight under its own power. Chalmers (Slick) Goodlin, 23-year-old test pilot who flew the little 31-foot craft at about 550 miles an hour, said today he expected it will reach the 1700 mph, which its designers predict for it.
