This cutaway view of the world's first jet-propelled bomber, the Army Air Forces' XB-43, reveals how Snugiy the torpedo-shaped jet engines fit in the fuselage. The plane made its first test flight last May at Muroc Field, Calif. Built by the Douglas Aircraft Co., the bomber is powered by two Axial-Flow General Electric jet engines, which are expected to drive the plane at more than 500 miles per hour. The bomber is slightly heavier than the AAF's A-26 Invader. October 19, 1946.

It sped 400 to 500 miles an hour over its controlled course and plunged into the sea 80 miles from where it was set off.
