This design has been attempted 3 times. The first two were "ok" but not to my liking. I've been struggling to come up with an intake solution that would do the Bell X1 justice. The Bell X-1 was a test aircraft to break the sound barrier. I needed to the design to live up to the expectations people would have for it. Its fast! it took alot of careful planning to make the intake large enough to prove the fan enough thrust to be fast. She goes 91mph on a tiny 1300 4s! The X-1 is also like a pattern plane. very locked in feeling.
The Bell is easy to print and build. It has a few very unique features, you may not see on most planes. I placed the battery compartment under the intake.
