Bell X-1B was modified for investigation of aerodynamic heating and characteristics of reaction controls and during a test program, effects of internal heat sources and sinks, and the effects of boundary-layer transition and aerodynamic interference. Research into reaction controls during the X-1B test flights at altitudes above 90,000 feet and paved the way for the hydrogen peroxide reaction system used in the X-15.
