Bell XS-1 "Glamorous Glennis"
Ladies and Gentlemens, you've been waiting for this since a month !
But here it is : the definitive variant of my X-1 !
(Even though I think i'll re-post it later due to the screenshots malfunction)
The Bell X-1 is a rocket-engine–powered aircraft, designated originally as the XS-1, and was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics–U.S. Army Air Forces–U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by Bell Aircraft. Conceived during 1944 and designed and built in 1945, it achieved a speed of nearly 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h; 870 kn) in 1948. A derivative of this same design, the Bell X-1A, having greater fuel capacity and hence longer rocket burning time, exceeded 1,600 miles per hour (2,600 km/h; 1,400 kn) in 1954.[1] The X-1, piloted by Chuck Yeager, was the first manned airplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was the first of the X-planes, a series of American experimental rocket planes (and non-rocket planes) designed for testing new technologies.

@Cancercats oh thanks for the info.
I was able to get this thing at 2231 mph, since I traveled very high in the sky, the air was thinner. It was then able to travel faster.
