Check the different versions The X-1A Longer and heavier than the original X-1, with a bubble canopy for better vision. X-1B with aerodynamic heating instrumentation for thermal research X-1C intended to test armaments and munitions in the high transonic and supersonic flight regimes X-1D a new low-pressure fuel system and a slightly increased fuel capacity. X-1E with turbopump fuel feed system All of these versions zoom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_X-1#X-1A [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
