Did you know the Bell X-2 was an experimental rocket-powered aircraft that set a speed record of 3,370 km/h (2,094 mph)—over Mach 3.2—in 1956? First flown just 11 years after World War II, the X-2 was designed to study flight at extreme speeds and altitudes, reaching a maximum height of 38.5 km (126,200 feet). Pilots like Captain Milburn "Mel" Apt pushed the boundaries of aviation, with Apt becoming the first to exceed Mach 3. Although its career was short, the X-2 paved the way for understanding high-speed flight and laid the groundwork for future aerospace advancements.
