X-2 Supersonic Plane Aims to Break Records
The Air Force plans a new X-2 rocket plane to fly faster and higher than any current manned aircraft this year. Built by Bell, the X-2 follows the X-1 program and is expected to surpass the X-1 in speed and altitude, with experts predicting up to 2,500 mph at 200,000 feet. Also noted are ongoing X-1 variants and aeromedical challenges for high altitude flight.
