Rocket Ship Won't Crack Sound Wall
Los Angeles dispatch reports the U S army's XS 1 rocket plane program facing doubt from John Cunningham of De Havilland who warns the craft likely cannot breach the speed of sound. Cunningham notes many difficulties remain and predicts it may take decades before any aircraft exceeds sound speed. He spoke during a visit by Northrop designers at Muroc base after the rocket ship conducted a powered flight at 550 miles an hour. The program aims for 1700 mph at 90 000 feet with a summer target to begin attack on sound barriers after more tests.
