This aircraft was simply a McDonnell XF-88, which would become the F-101 Voodoo, with a special propellar that could function at the speed of sound, though this aircraft was not driven by the prop engine it was only designed to test the propellar shape, though some test flights were made from the information I found only on of the flights was actually at Mach-speed
