The Bell Aircraft Corporation X-1E during a ground engine test run on the NACA High-Speed Flight Station ramp near the Rogers Dry Lake. The rocket technician was keeping the concrete cool by hosing it with water during the test. This also helped in washing away any chemicals that might spill. The test crew worked close to the aircraft during ground tests.1956NACA/NASA Photo› X-1E Project Description
