Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
Viewed in this 1954 photograph is the NACA High Speed Flight Research Station’s D-558-2 #2 (144), an all rocket powered Skyrocket. Like the X-1, the D-558-2 had a fuselage shaped like a .50 caliber bullet. Unlike both the X-1 and the D-558-1, it had swept wings. To accommodate them required a completely different design than that used for the earlier straight-wing D-558-1.
