D-558-1 Skystreak Ship #2 Jettisonable Nose Section
The D-558-1 was developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company, today a part of Boeing, at its El Segundo (California) Division in the 1940s. Because of the lack of knowledge about the survivability of a high-altitude, highspeed bailout at the time, Douglas engineers designed a jettisonable nose section that could protect the pilot until a safe bailout speed was reached.
