FLYBOYZ 25-Feb-09 10:20 Very nice MR David!Very intresting Plane decales do look to be the right scale.Is that what they refered to as the x- planes back in the 60,s and 70,s Where they did lots of expermenting in breaking speed beriers David Duckett 26-Feb-09 07:40 The Skystreak first flew in 1947 and preceded the X planes. The BARRIER they were trying to break was the sound barrier. I know of no speed barriers. jgood 26-Feb-09 08:30 David, pictures of your model should probably go in this wonderful collection when you're done : http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/gallery/photo/D-558-1/. What an amazing period in aviation, development was moving so quickly... David Duckett 26-Feb-09 10:06 Thanks, James. Great site! FLYBOYZ 26-Feb-09 11:59 However, the Skystreak performed an important role in aeronautical research by flying for extended periods of time at transonic speeds, which freed the X-1 to fly for limited periods at supersonic speeds.
