The X-1 is referred to as a "bullet with wings" due to its sleek, aerodynamic shape designed for supersonic flight, resembling a bullet's streamlined form. Its wings are relatively small compared to its fuselage, emphasizing its bullet-like profile while enabling controlled flight. This design was crucial for achieving and stabilizing speeds beyond the sound barrier during its historic test flights.
