The aircraft in this photograph is going places -high and fast. It is the X-1A, another in the distinguished series of special research aircraft designed and produced by Bell Aircraft Corporation for the U.S. Air Force.

Like its famous predecessor, the X-1 . . . first airplane in the world to exceed the speed of sound . . . the X-1A is symbolic of the emphasis Bell Aircraft has traditionally placed on research and development as a major instrument in strengthening the nation's air arm. 

Valuable design and performance information gathered from the X-1 series is now being incorporated in the country's front line fighters and bombers. 

These special research aircraft have also facilitated Bell Aircraft's transition to a new field -- pilot-less aircraft or, as they are more commonly known, guided missiles.

With the company's vast experience in supersonic and remotely controlled flight as background, Bell's scientists and engineers are pushing forward the development of missiles with an intensified and diversified program of electronics, servomechanisms and rocket propulsion -- providing today's research for tomorrow's air power.
