Description

X-Planes explores the fascinating world of America’s experimental aircraft that pushed the boundaries of aviation technology.

From the Bell X-1, which broke the sound barrier, to the stealthy X-47B and futuristic X-59 Quiet Supersonic Transport, this bookazine charts how the United States used its X-Plane programme to test radical ideas and shape the aircraft of the future.

Featuring stunning imagery, rare archival material and insight from author Kevin Wright, it reveals previously untold stories of the pilots, engineers and secret programmes that defined aviation innovation.
