The Insane Physics Behind the World's Fastest Aircraft
Faster and bigger. In this episode, we soar from the experimental Bell X-1 that first proved the possibility of supersonic flight, to the modern jets like the F22 Raptor. We also examine some of the largest crafts to ever fly, including Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose that was the inspiration behind Hughes biopic The Aviator, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
