They were inclined to question the interpretation given in a Cleve- Innd specch by Lawrence D. Bell, president of the company which built the plane, that it has gone the whole way. The only oificial statement of the X-1 from the Air Force is that it has gone “hundreds of miles (an hour) faster than the speed of sound.” At the high altitudes (above 50,000 feet) where the X-1 performs best, the speed of sound 'is only 600 miles an hour. Unofficial information is that i the little plane’s best speed has been just under 1,000 miles an hour and its best altitude something over 60,000 feet. The limiting factor thus far has been available power. Flood victims in Sonora, Mexico, vill soon be wearing Tuxedos.
