Test Pilot Says
1,238 MPH Not
Different Than 750
LOS ANGELES, *(/P)—The hot
test plane in the free world, the
D-558-2 Skyrocket, holds a new
speed record of 1,238 miles an
hour, says the Navy.
The hottest test pilot, lanky Bill
Bridgeman, says zooming at that
speed is “ncf different than flying
750 miles per hour.”
Bridgeman made six rocket
flights last summer after the Sky
rocket was launched at 35,000
feet from a B-29 mother ship.
The real, kick comes, Bridge
man said in an excusive inter
view Wednesday night, when the
rocket - propelled hummingbird
runs out of power at a record
altitude of 79,494 feet and swoops
down 15 miles for a deadstick
landing on the desert.
“You notice the high speed only
when you make a mistake,” the
ex-Navy bomber pilot said. “Then
she really jumps and gets hard to
control. Generally, though, there’s
too much blue sky and so many
things to do that the speed isn’t
noticeable.”
The record speed was made in
level flight after the Skyrocket
had reached the apex of her
climb. It was measured by in
struments in the plane and radar
ground readings carefully check
ed by the Navy bureau of aero
nautics.
The moment that sends “your
guts into your shoes,” Bridgeman
declares, comes when the last of
the four rockets used by the
plane loses its thrust.
“Then you have to bend ’er
over fast, level off and start glid
ing for home.”
