Title : X-1B Aircraft Cockpit and Instrument Panel

Caption :

The instrument panel of the Bell Aircraft Corporation X-1B was quite conventional in appearance and fairly typical of 1950s vintage research aircraft. Primary flight instrumentation was centrally mounted, with propulsion system and test equipment switches and instruments scattered throughout available space. Foot pedals and a center stick with no side controls were all part of the package in the cockpit. NACA High-Speed Flight Station technicians maintained the instrumentation in the aircraft.
