The Douglas D-558-1 Skystreak straddled two eras. Its jet engine was of a new age, but its low straight wing and conventional tailplanes were features familiar from the previous generation of WWII aircraft. Douglas built three D-558-1 aircraft for the US Navy and NACA. Although performance was hardly startling compared to its contemporary, the rocket powered Bell X-1, the D-558 still set a new official world speed record of 1031.049 kph on 20 August 1947. The D-558-1 was also capable of breaking the sound barrier in a dive. Features: Weight : 0.3163 kg Era : Postwar Origin : USA Edition : Special Hobby Scale : 148 Type : Aircraft Product : Plastic kits
