@Last chance Cowboy damn are you stupid. The reason why we dont see any swastika anymore has nothing in common with Israel but lots more with an industrial massmurder.
The a 10 was designed by a german designer,after the second world war,I was reading about it a few months ago you have an astute eye for aircraft design.
Beautiful aircraft then again all those war birds are amazing, fun to see them in a museum, but to see them where they belong roaring thru the sky, fantastic P.S. to the individuals who have nothing better to add than " where are the swastikas " grow up
Totally agree. I have a lithograph titled "In Defense of the Reich" showing four of these planes taking off. One of the signatories on it is Adolf Galland.
The reason is that this aircraft was stolen by the americans, russians and the british and produced in those countries as if it was their own design with minor changes.
@@pergrytt8427 lmao, no the 262 was garbage. It was a conventional layout with engines out on the wings causing a severe instability when one engine failed and given the Jumo 004b record that was often. The pilot sat above the wing with poor visibility unlike the other jets entering service at the time where the pilot sat more in the nose. Ironically the 262's top speed was limited by its control surfaces which locked at high speed driving the aircraft into the ground around 550 mph. Other piston aircraft reached much higher speeds. Even the Soviets saw the flaws and tried to build their own using the Jumo engine but big shocker they performed just as bad.
four cannons because they knew the bomber would only be in his sights for maybe a few seconds . Same reasoning why the British put 8 Browning's in the Spitfire and Hurricane initially . If you look at the German bomber in the English war museum ,the wreckage has hundreds of .303 holes in it . Took too long to shoot down ! and then the Hispano became available . Still with the slower rate of fire , 4 x30mm cannons would put enough shells out to do the job. War is brutal alright , but that plane looks so awesome . If I could buy/afford to run one , I would rather have one of those than a P51 .
All jet fighters in the world now .. All jet aircrafts in the world now .. All rockets in the world now .. Even landing a human on the moon 1969 . All done by the german technology and german scintests .. Respect you guys ..
There are 3 ME-262 in flying condition out of 1,443 that were produced. The original production engine was the Junkers Juno 004B, with the metallurgy problems at the time, the service life was typically 10-25 hours. The most common engine to replace the originals are the GE J85 engine which was used in the Airforce A-37 Dragonfly, Canadair CT-114, Northrup F-5, and the Northrup T-38 Talon. The original engines had a 2 stroke 10hp gas engine in the nose cone of the engine that spun the engine up to speed for starting. Hitler's major fault with the ME-262 was he initially refused for it to be used as fighter interceptor and instead used as a bomber for revenge bombing. It was eventually used as reconnaissance and a night fighter interceptor. Top speed was approximately 100mph faster than the P-51 Mustangs.
Hi Don, what metallurgy problems are you reffering to??? The GE J85? The J85 originally only had a service life of 3 hours. Later civilian versions like the CJ610 are much improved for longer TBOs.
While that is a popular myth, the Me-262 is no more a bomber than the P-51 Mustang.. Both can carry 2x 500lbs bombs and can operate in the ground attack role... just like any jet fighter in service today
+ Don Hoover Five new-build Me-262s were produced from the same project, with four of those airworthy with GE CJ610 turbines. Paul Allen's museum has fully restored their WW2 original Me-262 to airworthy condition, including fully overhauled Jumo 004 turbines with remanufactured components in the critical sections. (And with functional Riedel starters.) Allen's museum has currently halted all projects, but the Me-262 had begun taxi and brake checks to prepare for test flights.
Не понятно почему Немцы проиграли войну с совком , такая техника у них была , и хорошо обученные солдаты офицеры были , удивительно что Немцы проиграли эту войну .
Dr. Anselm Franz not only designed the most successful jet engine of WW2... he also designed the world's most successful gas turbine helicopter engine series the Lycoming T53/T55 that powers the Bell UH1 and AH1 and the Boeing CH-47 Chinook AND the AGT-1500 that powers the M1 Abrams tank!
@@brookemcquale5096 They shot down over 550 Allied aircraft... Gloster Meteor and Lockheed P-80s like all jets have high fuel consumption... but this is easily offset by huge speed and performance advantage that the Messerschmitt Me-262 offered.
@@brookemcquale5096 , a funny thing to say about the birth of the jet engine. Regarding WW2 the Me262 came too late, luckily. PS. came to think of it, could it be you think the British jet engine used a lot less fuel.
The fuselage is shaped like a shark and it must have been terrifying for allied bomber crews being attacked by them. Polish Mustangs shot down 4 of them for the loss of 2 Lancasters on April 9th and my dad was a rear gunner in one of the 61 squadron Lancs. The 262 looked much more like the future than the Meteor or the American Lockheed with it's swept back wings. I'd love to see one fly.
My father was flying from Italy to Scotland in a C-49 by order of top brass to pick up a shipment of scotch. I don't know where along the trip but he suddenly encountered an Me-262 that pulled up alongside him, needless to say, a C-47 (155knots) doesn't elude an Me-262. The two pilots looked at each and smiled and the German pilot indicated he was low on gas, tilted his head as if to say, "I'm sorry, I just don't have time to shoot you down." and sped off. Ah, war.
@@brookemcquale5096 Put that up as its own comment, I like stories that tells of soldiers who acted human. I once heard a historiean talking about how many soldiers who missed their enemy targets on purpose. Especially in 1ww. They are in my oppinion the real heroes in a war. Being forced to fight, but staying human. Off course there are a many cases or situation where it is shoot or be shot, but thats not what I had i mine.
We should have had more Video like at 0:58 seconds on the very fine air crew, and their also fine contribution to the Airshow!!!, in my humble but appreciative opinion!

Dang! I wanted to see the 262 land. Landing was said to be one of the 262's weak points, and I wanted to witness one. Still, it is a very impressive aircraft, truly worthy of its fame as the world's first operational gas turbine powered fighter.
@@dervogelmann1125 Some very interesting tales of Me-262s jumped on final approach... but the truth is all aircraft (including modern jets) are extremely vulnerable during takeoff and landing in a low energy state... The truth is Allied pilots paid a very heavy price for hanging around German airfields looking for a jet.. Allied losses to ground fire were so heavy in fact that the practice was officially banned by the USAAF.
@@sandervanderkammen9230 I didn`t know that...yeah...starting and landing was the problem...right...my point was...what can a jet do against 20 mustangs ?...nothing...
@@dervogelmann1125 The truth is on final approach was the only time a P-51 Mustang had any chance against the Me-262s. The German jet fighter had a continuous cruising speed higher than the P-51s top speed with WEP and could turn and manuvere at speeds more than 120 mph faster... it rendered propeller driven aircraft completely obsolete.
Love the look of a smiling shark sticking its tongue out when you get the head-on view. (0.16) - - much more authentic than any painted shark like the Yanks used on P40's etc. Typical of Adolf to wreck the potential of this machine An astonishingly beautiful thing even today - equals the Spit in that respect.
This plane would have to be one that was built by a company in Texas ( Sorry, I forget the name ). It uses a Miller engine, similar in performance to the Jumo, but much more reliable.
This aircraft was built under license from DASA (Messerschmitt) in Everett, Washington. Me-262 "C" models are powered by a GE J85 (variant) designed by Nazi engineer brought to American by Operation Paperclip and Operation Lusty. The original J85 engines were actually *less* reliable than the original German made Jumo 004b Orkan engines.
@@johndemars2551 The project began as a partnership between Herb Tischler at the Texas Airplane Factory and Classic Fighter Industries, along with surprising cooperation from the US Navy to allow them to restore and reverse-engineer their deteriorating original Me-262. Tischler was known for his talents manufacturing several rare new-build aircraft types, so he was a logical choice. Later CFI and Tischler had a contract dispute so CFI decided to move and complete the project at their facilities in Washington state. CFI constructed five new Me-262s for clients, with some leftover structure and parts finding their way to Germany for a museum project. As SVK says, Messerschmitt did endorse the project and granted the new Me-262s factory serial numbers starting from the last model produced during WW2. They have a unique type assignment of Me-262A-1c, Me-262B-1c or Me-262A/B-1c depending on the configuration (single seat or dual control.)
@@johndemars2551 Sorry John, I couldn't find your book, what is the title? I'm assuming that you are not a pilot? The aircraft's German registration number D-IMTT and its original serial number, Messerschmitt _Werk Nummer 501.244_ are both clearly visible painted on the tail fin. In case you are not aware aircraft tail numbers can be searched online rather easily these days. Any questions?
So cool ! To me it is probably the coolest looking aircraft of all time , including today’s modern fighter jets , but if you see it in the setting of World War II aviation , it really deserves the title I gave it..Kudos to Germany , although the jet engine is a British creation , it was the Germans who put the first jet fighter aircraft in the air , and it looks beautiful , even by today’s standards , not by the standards of 1945 but by today’s much, much , more modern standards.
Yes it was a Brit invention/creation. But , the Nazis were the 1st to implement its use ! If the Nazis had the v1, v2 , jets , and the atomic bombs afew years before , we be talking German , and some Japanese , and a bit of Italian .
Its time to dispel that false British propaganda myth. Frank Whittle did not invent the jet aircraft engine, in fact wasn't even the second to do so. The facts are irrefutable, the first successful demonstration of jet aircraft engine was August 27th 1939 in Rostock Germany. Whittle would not achieve a successful demonstration for another 2 years. The Gloster Whittle E.28 was the 4th example of a jet propulsion aircraft.
@@bernardotorres2532 Are you not familiar with the development history of the jet engine? The first jet engines were built by Hans von Ohain and Max Hahnn in Gottingen Germany between 1934 and 1936... Frank Whittle did not begin actual work on jet engine prototypes until he moved to Rugby in 1936. Any questions?
that s not right at all .. there where dobbelseater as nightfighter and trainer ... attacking and hunter where oneseater de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262
Que buenos son los alemanes, debo decir que en esos tiempos incluso antes un militar español lo desarrollo pero como siempre , ese militar era rojillo le vendió la patente y el desarrollo a los británicos, porque el gobierno de España no le gustaba, tampoco tubo mucha aceptación , para variar como desde hacía más de un siglo..pero bueno, hay que reconocer que los alemanes superaban al resto del mundo en más de treinta años...❌
Actually it was the Boeing B-47 that is a direct descendant of the Messerschmitt Me-262. The Boeing B-47 was developed into both the 707 and its twin engine variant the 737 which is the most successful jet airliner in history.
@@trjnsd6874 The Boeing 737 also owes its retractable leading edge slats, stabilator trim system and modular construction to the Messerschmitt Me-262.. Few people recognize just how revolutionary and influential the Me-262 really was.. No single aircraft ever changed aviation as much as Germanys first jet fighter. Cheers!
I have always thought this aircraft looks menacing. Can only imagine the surprise pilots must have felt when they saw it for the first time. Can anyone tell me what engines are powering this example? It looks as if it flies better than it looks and is graceful in its element.
The original, I think Jumo engines, had always been a little unreliable right from the beginning. So, from a modern day safety aspect they were refitted with alternative engines. Not sure what make, I did read about this a few years back.
Just recreating this fine warbird was a masterclass in engineering, the engine nacelles are historically correct but the downrated GE powerplants had to be tucked deep inside to maintain the original appearance and still perform correctly
"1a" models are powered by Jumo 004b Orkan engines. "1b" models are powered by BMW 003 engines "1c" model are powered by a GE J85 variant developed by Nazi engineers brought to American by Operation Paperclip and Operation Lusty.
At what point does an aircraft become so valuable that it cannot be flown? The Me 262 is priceless and irreplacable. It is thrilling to see it fly, however.
Amazing that out of so few built hastily during the dying days of WW2 that it is still flying. Clearly it has different engines than originally supplied.
@@ZephodBeeblebrox Five new Me-262s were built from the project but only four can fly. A mix of single seat, two-seat and conversion models were constructed. They are typed as Me-262A-1c, Me-262B-1c, or Me-262A/B-1c depending on the configuration. One original has been restored to fly with improved original engines, but work is presently halted just after taxi testing began.
Anybody know if this thing has reproduction engines, or are they newer tech jet engines? And kudos that they didn't put swastikas on it. I hate it when people feel compelled to hitler-out a restored 109 or 190.
+331SVTCobra The plane is new-build and the turbines are GE. Five were built although one is a static example. One WW2 original has been fully restored to airworthy with improved original engines, but the project is currently on hold.
Powered by a GE J85 variant designed by Nazi engineer brought to America by Operation Paperclip and Operation Lusty. Ironically the German Jumo 004b engines were more reliable than the early versions of the J85. Many people feel the same way about the British Union Jack... it is considered by many as a symbol of hate and mass genocide. Freedom of speech is an unalienable right... it outweighs any perceived benefits of censorship.
I wonder what make of axial flow turbo jet it’s using, surely it’s not an original as didn’t they have a tiny life span due to the lack of available specialised metallurgy and materials available due to hitlers need for it in other areas? But then again what would l know from down here in Australia
The aircraft are powered by General Electric CJ610 turbojet engines, concealed inside detailed reproductions of the original Junkers Jumo 004B engines and nacelles.
C models were made with GE engines... ironically the J85 engines were based on captured Nazi technology and originally used the same Chrome based alloys as the Jumo 004b Orkan engines.
+ James Govett Paul Allen's museum has restored their WW2 original Me-262 with the Jumo 004 engines that were rebuilt with better metallurgy. All work at the museum is presently stopped after Allen died from cancer and while affairs with his estate are sorted out. A terrible shame after all of the money and effort, just as the Me-262 was conducting taxi and brake checks.
@@FiveCentsPlease Can you please elaborate on what you mean by "rebuilt with better metallurgy"? Krupp P-198 _Chromadur_ is still used in gas turbine engines, its sold today under the brand names INCONEL A286 and INCOLOY A286. The secret to the Jumo 004b engines long TBOs was the pioneering use of hollow bleed air-cooled turbine nozzles and blades and high temperature resistant Cerro-Alumina ceramic coatings throughout the hot section.
+ pete froehling The GE engines can make about 40% more power, however the aircraft still has the original structural limits. Take off performance and reserve power are greatly improved. The builders stated to not fly those new Me-262s beyond the load limits (such as above 550 mph) and the pilots have references in the cockpit for the correct power settings to use for flight.
At closing speeds above 500mph, the P51D was no match to this Brilliant German jet, though Hitler interfered with the project at the closing stages of the war, had this aircraft been built in numbers it would of been a serious challenge to allies.
I remember hearing that the way P51 pilots learnt how to eliminate ME 262’s was to fly near German airstrips and attack them as they were taking off or coming in to land when they were very vulnerable.
@@michaelweaver7898 Absolutely US and allied fighters feared that jet, their was a story I heard from my father's uncle who was a mechanic in England during the war, that one of the pilots told him they were in a flight formation of 6 P51D heading into Germany, when out of nowhere a ME 262 came roaring thru the flight of P51's he said the flight leader was all shook up and didn't know how to respond, so all the flight team went after the jet, to their surprise the German jet was GONE!
The number one reason for the late deployment of the Me 262 was development issues with the 004 jet engines. When the engines did finally go into mass production in the Summer of 1944, engine life was as low as 10 flight hours. And had the war dragged on, the USAAF would have had the Lockheed P-80 jet fighter. And even if you believe the Me 262 to be the superior aircraft one on one, it's probable they would be outnumbered four to one. And pilots? The Luftwaffe still had a few "Experts" in 1945, their numbers were few.
It's a myth. Me-262 was dropped behind by it's engines. It was still a novel technology and at the end of war Germany lacked material basis for full scale production of reliable jet engines.
If Germany had produced more of these it would have extended the war. What a great innovation it was for the time. They must have rebuilt these engines with reliability in mind because they were renowned for blowing up in the original build. I’d like to be able to see one fly.
Nah. The combined industrial output of the US, UK, and USSR meant Germany never stood a chance. The German army on the Eastern Front had a saying: "if it's in the air it's not German". They could not compete with the numbers of prop-driven Soviet aircraft... so how could they spend more hours and resources to make fewer 'jets (than prop planes) and expect to stop the tens of thousands of Soviet tanks coming at them. And the US had so many long range fighters, we could just follow them back to their airfield and destroy the airfield. I actually met a Mustang pilot in '74 who told me of how he was flying low one day and almost caught up with a 262 (I don't know how close, maybe within a couple hundred yards) then the 262 accelerated away and turned. The guy kept his Mustang going as fast as he could and eventually got closer and closer... and again the 262 accelerated away just as the guy was about to fire. After four times the guy realized the 262 was repeatedly getting the Mustang to fly over AAA and then accelerating away. He did not bag a 262 that day.
+GUNNERSIGHTZEROED A special project constructed five new Me-262s, and four can fly with GE engines. One restoration will be using improved original engines. They were taxi testing before all work was put on hold.
I like they put Germany`s national flag on a vertical stabilizer instead of a distinctive sign during wartime. This plane was so mighty which would have become a game-changer of dogfighting and won a post-war for its homeland.
Não somente os caças, mas os tanques e outras armas poderosas Alemãs também tiveram uma significativa mudança do início para o fim da guerra...Se começa nesse nível, até os aliados pensarem numa reação já teriam perdido, não teria "boca" pra ninguém!
Considering how rare these planes are, I am not sure they should in fact be flown at all. When they are gone, they will be gone. All that will be left will be mostly non-flyable empty fuselages.
+ Jo LiMag Registered D-IMTT in Germany at the Messerschmitt Museum, Classic Fighter Industries Me-262 Reproduction. The data from the project listed it as a conversion model configurable as a single seat example or dual cockpit, though curiously the German registration lists it as a single seat model. Conversion models are typed as Me-262A/B-1c. The project originally constructed two conversion models, two dual-cockpit models (Me-262B-1c), and one single seat model (Me-262A-1c.) Powerplants are GE CJ610 turbines from the business jet class, de-rated J85 variant. Paul Allen's museum has rebuilt their original Me-262 to airworthy condition with Jumo turbines that were restored with safer metallurgy. But don't expect to see Allen's' Me-262 flying soon since the museum has currently halted all projects and work..
@@jackd1582 Compared to the _"Meatbox"_ the Me-262 has excellent asymmetric flight characteristics... _"Meatbox"_ is a name that was well earned... an engine out on takeoff or a go around in "flying coffin" was usually fatal until the Martin-Baker ejection seat was available... and still was fatal if the pilot didnt react quickly enough.
