One of the most surprising facts about the X program as a whole is just how few accidents there were. The whole idea behind the X planes was to push different boundaries of flight. That every other flight didn't end in a crash is a testament to just how good those engineers were.

To the moon question. The sonic speed is dependent on the material in which the sound wave is traveling. And because in vacuum sound cant travel the sonic speed is zero at the moon (assuming the plane is not supossed to travel trough the moon). Therefore a still standing plane on the moon would count as moving at the speed of sound. Just one more thing. To get the plane to the moon it had to move at some point at that was most certainly faster than the speed of sound.

You might ask, why the X1 resembles the Messerschmitt Me 163 so much. Looking like the unholy union of a space craft and a bullet with 4 rocket engines at the tail. Maybe because the first unofficial first super sonic flights have been achieved by a Me 163 pilot during test flights in 1941, which is also why the american developers made sure to get their hands on said aircraft's construction plans and the crew reports about strains on the body. But since this was a secret developement, there couldn't be official documents left. Especially since America had to be first, other "first flights" could never be official documents. None the less the X-Series deserves it's praise as the first aircrafts successfully built with breaking the sound barrier in mind (and not by accident during limit testing).

Us Brits were working on the Miles M.52 after Miles were given the contract by our government in 1943. Strangely, just months before the first flight, the project was stopped and all data, including the successful transonic & supersonic (to Mach 1.38) 30% scale rocket powered aircraft dropped from a Mosquito, was passed to Bell aircraft in America. Bell then subsequently went on to fly the Bell x-1. This from the Wikipedia entry on the Miles M.52... "According to senior figures at Miles, the design and the research gained from the M.52 was shared with the American company Bell Aircraft "

12:00 Elsewhere on KZfaq you can see Scott cross field talk about the x2 and how it was never designed to go over Mach 3. It was considered a fair crack of the odds to try for a record and prestige. Lastly the x1 is a clone of the British miles m52. They had no idea before about the fully Moving tail.
@dukecraig2402
@dukecraig2402 2 жыл бұрын
Wow, that is wrong in so many ways it probably set a record. First off the X1 is hardly a "clone" of the Miles M52, I mean that thought right there goes to show that opposed to doing the research and learning from credible sources you learn from KZfaq comments and then just repeat them. First off the X1 was not a clone of anything except the nose proportions being a clone of the .50 caliber bullet, that's even mentioned in this video. And despite the false narrative that the British invented the flying tail which comes from the cry babying rantings of an English test pilot who spent the rest of his life finger pointing simply because he was mad that it wasn't him who got to break the sound barrier the fact is the French invented the flying tail back in the 1920's, it was already old news in the aircraft industry well before the X1 or the Miles M52 was even a blank sheet of paper. And if you look into the history of research into breaking the sound barrier you'll find out that research had started in the US long before WW2 started, several universities working with NACA had already been working on it for some time when it was suspended due to the war, it was information from that research that was given to Bell Aviation as a starting point to design the X1. Furthermore the X1 was built from day one with provisions to be easily converted to a flying tail should their testing and research deem it necessary, they started out with a conventional tail because in the world of aircraft development you start with what you know and go from there, one step at a time. Because the structure inside the tail of the X1 was built with the provisions to convert it to a flying tail such as having a place to mount the pneumatic jackshaft that raises and lowers the tail already inside the structure it was easily converted to one without a major redesign of the structure and framework inside the tail, if not for the fact that it was designed to convert the tail to the flying type the X1 never would have broken the sound barrier until 1948, having to do that much redesigning would have pushed it into 1948.

"No airplane can take off on the moon." Moments after talking about rocket powered airplanes. In theory the X-1 could take off on the moon, it would just have zero control since while it did not need air to provide thrust, it did need atmosphere for its control surfaces to function. Also to say the X-1's engine could not be throttled is half of the truth. It could turn each chamber on and off independently. So there is no smooth spectrum of throttling, but there are ways of achieving 25% 50% 75% and 100% of the total thrust.

@@daexion Sorry but you are missing the forest for the trees here. The video had just talked about engines *that do not need atmospheric oxygen* and then goes on to talk about how the lack of an atmosphere (yes yes trace gasses) means you cannot take off. That is ALL I was talking about in my first paragraph. Note that I did not say a thing about velocity here. Also in response to what you said about the air launch. What does this have to do with anything I said? Besides that, do you have math to back up what you are implying here? That being, on the moon you would also need to air launch an X-1. Again not that this has anything at all to do with the point I was making, but it is an interesting question given the differences between Earth and Luna.

Then the creators would write a script based on those talking points and guidelines and try to integrate it into the main script of the video.

My two cents on the Moon question before I get to the end of the video. I do not think it could achieve super Sonic speeds on the moon. Not really sure why he mentioned gravity but I do not think gravity is as relevant. The moon has lower air density yes. But based on my understanding, going super Sonic is breaking the sound barrier as in breaking through the walls of compressed air that builds up around the aircraft. Now, perhaps it could go faster compared to earth and by earth speed standards "go super Sonic". But that's even if there's enough air to provide stable flight.

Capsule on the X-2 (XS-2), it was known, due to rocket sled tests (which often had the USAF doctor who was examining the volunteers who rode the sled, often going at the higher speed runs himself since he didn't feel that it was right to have someone take risks that he himself didn't!) they realized a man would get injured, perhaps critically at Supersonic Speeds and that he (back then all test pilots in the US were men) would need a lot of O2 to survive for the amount of time it would take for him to get down to around 14,000 feet (~4,267m) were he could start breathing and they actually preferred 10,000 feet (~3,048m) before they wanted him to start breathing the surrounding air..... The Capsule ejection .vs. seat ejection solved both problems!

Since the V2 rockets were supersonic and did not disintegrate when accelerating beyond mach 1,it was pretty obvious there was no actual “barrier”

I have some questions. 1. What is the minimum amount of air required for sound? Can there be a minimum air pressure which can be stated required for sound propagation? 2. Moon's atmosphere is not absolute vacuum and supersonic air crafts are powered by jets and moon jets will have either solid , liquid or cryogenic jets. No tell me the answer!

I LOVE the way you took that ad and made it a necessary part of the video. That's one of the most intelligent advertising ideas I've ever seen! I did however know that no aircraft can fly on the moon because of the super thin atmosphere.

On 15NOV67 an X-15 flown by Michael Adams went out of control. Adams was not able to regain control, and the plane broke up in flight. Adams was killed. X-15 pilot Joe Engle went to NASA and flew the Space Shuttle.

Not quite true, he did regain control after a bit but ended up upside down at supersonic, and his dampers locked; refusing to let him pull out of the dive so the plane began oscillating (which was far beyond the limits and the plane broke up) incredible that he pulled out of a Mach 5 spin tho

15:32 this is still debated to this day because some people think that the X-15 was a rocket plane and that the real speed record was set by the SR-71. Also, the fact that the X-15 was launched mid-air may also contradict the record, because it was launched from a mothership and did not take off. Sadly, I could not find any conditions set by the US airforce for a flight airspeed record during the '60s so who knows (proboably wasn't looking hard enough). Nonetheless, the X-15 still holds the fastest flight speed ever recorded (other than some space shuttles) but I couldn't find any written documents of the flight in the Airforces flight airspeed records (it may fall under a different category of records or I just wasn't looking hard enough :) ) Also great vid as usual

I never seen that the x-15 could be considered until I saw that some people were debating it and then I thought about it if we include the x-15 why not virgins galtic rocket or the space shuttle, they all have rockets, use rockets, and land in a similar manner(he even said the x-15 heavily influenced and gave rise to the space shuttle).
