1947, developed the first rocket planes capable of breaking the sound barrier. Can you imagine that?

It was a spectacular achievement in aviation history, opening up the realms of possibility

for aircraft design and aeronautical engineering.

Now, naturally, there was one t-tese problem. The pilots flying these supersonic planes kept

dying. And I'm not talking about just one or two, but at an alarming rate. As these aircraft

soared into the brink of Mach 2, they encountered the perilous thinness of the upper
