A highly detailed model of the Bell X-1 is provided, featuring intricate textures including a diffuse map and a bump map. The maximum dimension of these textures reaches an impressive 4096 pixels. The Bell X-1 was a collaborative research project between NACA, the U.S. Army Air Forces, and the U.S. Air Force, with the Bell Aircraft Company responsible for its construction. Initially designated as XS-1, it began development in 1944 and took shape in 1945. By 1948, this remarkable aircraft reached speeds of nearly 1,000 miles per hour. A subsequent variant, the Bell X-1A, boasting increased fuel capacity and extended rocket burning time, shattered previous records by exceeding 1,600 miles per hour in 1954. As a pioneering achievement, the X-1 was the first airplane to break through the sound barrier in level flight, setting the stage for the development of experimental rocket planes known as the X-planes. This series of American aircraft was designed to test cutting-edge technologies and often operated under secrecy.
