EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, a Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket soars into the sky as it is launched from its mothership, a Boeing B-29. The year is 1948, and this groundbreaking event marked a significant milestone in the development of supersonic aviation. The Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket, also known as the "Sweepwing," was a revolutionary experimental aircraft designed to investigate the aerodynamics of supersonic flight. Its unique swept-wing design, which was a departure from the conventional straight-wing configuration of the time, aimed to reduce drag and increase speed. The launch from the Boeing B-29 mothership was a crucial aspect of the Skyrocket's development. The B-29, a four-engine propeller-driven bomber, was chosen as the mothership due to its size and strength. The Skyrocket was attached to the B-29 using a large pylon and a complex system of cables and winches. Once the Skyrocket reached an altitude of around 25,000 feet and a speed of 250 miles per hour, it would be released from the B-29. The Skyrocket would then ignite its rocket engines and accelerate to supersonic speeds, reaching Mach 1.04 (approximately 750 miles per hour) in just over 3 minutes. This photograph captures the moment of release, as the Skyrocket breaks free from the B-29 and begins its ascent into the sky. The determination and innovation of the engineers and pilots involved in this project are evident in this image, as they pushed the boundaries of aviation technology and paved the way for the development of supersonic aircraft.
