I had a unique opportunity about 12 years ago to sit in a REAL ME262. My Dad worked as a volunteer at the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Once a year they had an employee appreciation dinner & also opened up several planes that you can climb into. I noticed they actually had the ME262 canopy open so I climbed in, I was amazed at how few instruments were in it. That same night I sat in a P-38J Lighting, an SR71, a P-47 & the B-29 "Bocks Car" that dropped the A-bomb on Nagasaki. Quite the evening! (They don't do this anymore by the way).
Looking at the ME262 nose on, it always reminds me of looking at a Great White shark, and making me glad that I will never face either of them, when they are angry.....:)
@@dr.humoris.causa.dafaelgei8519 ---- Had it been developed and deployed like Galland suggested...Allied aviators would have had a much tougher time over Germany.

Yes. 10 hours lifetime of the engines, problems with the jet engindes during take off and touch down, delayed response of the engines.... Look at Britains Gloster Meteor, came out just months later, was slightly faster and much more reliable
First 262 kill was a Recce Mossie over Munich, that Mossie had pieces shot off but lost the 262 in the clouds and returned safely, the German pilot claimed it as a kill, watched an interview with the veteran mossie pilot who described his encounter with the jet over Munich
The more battle stories I hear from war it seems airmen had such a sense of respect and decency towards not only their own squadron but the enemy as well. They didn't want to see lives end but simply protect their or homeland or from the other side stop the threat. They hated to see an enemy be killed
Towards the end Americans were told to shoot down pilots in parachutes. Germans were told the same earlier and I feel many refused to do so on both sides. At the end of the war though the Americans thinking was he will come up again.

@@aerobee58 No!. That is exactly the mistake Hitler made. The ME262 should never have been a bomber. There was no point at this time in history. Germany was defending itself not attacking. The ME262 should have been introduced as a fighter the moment it became available. They should have stopped the Allied bombingcampaign. There was no other reason for this campaign but to lure the Luftwaffe in the air so it could be destroyed. The bombing campaign was ineffective from the start. But it was never intended to be effective. The Allies needed to destroy the Luftwaffe so the could start the invasion. This was not possible with a Luftwaffe that had airsuperiority.

I beg to differ; the development of technology has always been recursive in nature, with each generation of technology paving the way for the development of the subsequent one. Would we have developed high-speed monoplanes if it hadn't been for all of the thought and and funding that went into perfecting radial and V-12 engines during the interwar period? Or gene therapy techniques if it hadn't been for the groundbreaking work geneticists whose careers started decades after the war? The massive expenditure of physical and mental resources what war necessitates is a huge driving force behind the development of technology, sure, but you can't just say that it stopped with WWII.

According to Sir Frank Whittle, the father of the turbojet, the best German jet engine at war's end was good for 25 hours while the best British jet engine was good for 150 hours. IIRC the Me-262's engines produced about 2000 pounds of thrust, versus 5000 for the Rolls-Royce Nene. Postwar, the Soviets had access to captured German technology, but had to turn to reverse-engineered Nenes to power their MiG-15 fighter.

Before we all get carried away by the aesthetics of this thing remember that by that stage in the war , even German civilians were technically in forced labour . Consider also the countless thousands of slaves who lived , worked and died assembling these weapons of desperation in railway tunnels and mines . It's all well and good saying that the pilots were Knights of the Air with smarter uniforms but every last one of them had sworn an oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler .
Nobody's disputing that, and I find Nazism abhorrent and disgusting. But I'm 99% sure that anybody who admires the weapons from this period are simply looking at them from a mechanical standpoint, not the human toll that created them. I hate Nazis, but I think the design of their weapons is amazing. Everything that they built has this elegant lethality to it, very beautiful machines, from very ugly hearted people.
If it wasn't for Hitler the ME262 could have appeared in August 1943. I'm surprised the Germans didn't switch out the wings add ME109 motors, amour tubbed cockpit and fuel tanks and used it as tank buster on the eastern front.
Mistake trying to build the axial flow engine at the time as the average engine lasted only three flights. Germany just didn’t know how to manufacture the stators and turbine blades.
Germany was winning the war and occupied half the world. They saw no need for it early on. Hence the reason why they rushed the program when it was too late. Jumbo needed overhauled every 10-20 hrs.

@@buddyollieextreme9590 Never heard of Adolf Galland? He strongly rejected the idea of shooting enemy airmen in their parachutes, even if over their own territory, as he felt it was equal to murder. You can search it on Wikipedia
@@TheMinipily why ?. i will answer u man .this happened for several reasons , firstly ,the german army was fighting on many fronts not on one front , secondly , hitler had the best military commanders but he didn't give them the total freedom in planing for battles always he interfered , thirdly , the german weapons such as tiger and panther tanks were much developed than the allies and russian tanks and the ME 262 as well but the big problem is the shortage of the manufactured quantities compered with russian ellution planes and t_34 tanks in addition to allies weapons
@@TheMinipily and their r alots of reasons for defeat of germany in ww2 we cannot mention them if we want to talk about that our speech would have no end but the air superiority of the allies was one if the most important reason for defeating germany and nice to talk to u minipily
@@mohammadnawafleh5678 Main factor Germany couldn't win is they simply are not a large country. They do not have the fuel or supplies to expand and carry on a large war. Countries like for example, Russia and America however have near endless amounts of fuel, oil and industry to expand. This alone really counts as a major figure to why Germany was destined to fail, but there's plenty more besides. I mean, hell, you said some of them yourself. Main issue with the German equipment. It's fancy and overly engineered. Yes it can make a difference IF it makes it to a battle, but that's a big if. The Allies however stuck to designs that could be easily maintained. I'll leave a simple example for you: Tiger Tank Transmission Maintenance: To replace the Transmission on a Tiger I Tank, probably the most common issue but could be avoided with an exceedingly well trained crew, the entire turret would first need to be taken off the vehicle. The turret was incredibly heavy and would require a specialised crane, not a piece of equipment that you have ready in the field generally. Once that is done, you would then need to unbolt the upper hull plate and take away the hull plate. Once that is taken away, you would need to strip out the entire radio set from the front and then disassemble the drivers controls as well as disconnect the tracks and main sprockets. Once all of this is done, you should then have clear access to the transmission and can take it out to be replaced. This is incredibly difficult to do in the battlefield if one breaks down, and thus, a lot of Tiger I's were abandoned by their crews once they broke down. In good conditions, all of this would take the better part of a day. Sherman Tank Transmission Maintenance: To replace the transmission on a Sherman Tank, you would simply need to strip out the drivers controls and disconnect the tracks and main sprockets. Once this is done, the front lower glacis plate is unscrewed and stripped away from the vehicle. This plate contains the transmission. You can then rerplace the transmission plate, reconnect the previously disconnected parts and be underway. This was REGULARILY done in battlefield conditions (see archived photographs) and would take little time. In good conditions, all of this would most likely take an hour. Note also, that ENTIRE Sherman tanks were being shipped from the United States in just parts. So, there was an almost endless amount of parts and if a crew had their tank knocked out, they would be able to climb out of their destroyed Sherman and simply get a new one. This is quite a good video if you'd like to learn about some of the myths behind the Sherman, though there's even more points to go over that was missed here: th-cam.com/video/bNjp_4jY8pY/w-d-xo.html But I'm rambling. Yes, in the end the Me-262 would have had no real great benefit other than perhaps cause some slight delays to smaller attacks and ensure that many parents wouldn't see their children come home. However you are right on your last part, Allied Air Supremacy certainly did help the allies win the war, but I concur that the war is still indeed won on the ground. As one says, the Rifleman comes first and his support comes second.
@@TheMinipily u r completely right , i know exactly what u say but because i like germany i said this , germany is one country , it logically cannot defeat the western allies and russia together , you convenced me when u said germany did not have the fuel and the big industry to expand its war production ,thank you for this valuable informations
Would it not be because of the swept wings of the ME-262, the first plane to use swept wings a swallow. THe storm bird would be the bomber version of the me-262.
@@alastair9446 the CAS-Capable version of the Me-262 was named Storm Bird, or Sturmvogel, but it's reference that it was at the time the fastest CAS-capable Aircraft in the world

Ja. Dann wäre der 2 Weltkrieg anders ausgegangen. Berlin und Hamburg wären durch die Atombomben ,die auf Japan gefallen sind ,zerstört. Millionen Menschen wären noch mehr gestorben.Und das Unrecht das durch Deutschland in die Welt getragen wurde, wäre noch grösser

So he wants revenge . He take a me 262. Change her to A racing one. Hight aerodynamic. And call the us air force p80 to race. But, the air force denied.
? what? for your information, the germans was not alone to built turbo jet engines: the Brits made it in same time and the french built a prototype turbojet in 1939 (Rateau SRA-1)...and a turbo jet can run with avgas, need only some settings...
Not really, the allies also had a jet fighter the gloster meteor which was kept in England to shoot down V1 bombs. Althought the ME-262 was probably better due to swept wings.
@@alastair9446 It is not only a matter of swept wings. Transsonic airplanes also need a horizontal and vertical stabilizer, swept even more, to keep the airplane controllable. Engines should be positioned below the upper wing surface not to speed up the airflow (nowadays even on pylons). Such airplanes need a all moving horizontal stabilizer to overcome the torque of the n-wave and leading edge flaps since the airfoils for high speed are unsuitable for take off and landing. The me262 had all these features - the Meteor none !
Not really, it was actually a English man who came up with the idea first. The allies also had the gloster meteor during ww2 which was kept in ENgland to shoot down V1 bombs. The Germans were just desperate so they rushed their plane.
Too little too late! ..A year earlier and as planned it would have chopped up the American Bomber streams to bits and they would have hardly got a shot off in defence
Correct. As with much of the German technologies and advantages, it was completely wasted by Hitler's intervention and misdirection. Thank God for that, or the war would've ended differently.
Surely the most over-rated aircraft of WW2. The engines had an operational life of 10 hours. That is 10 hours total, not 10 hours between rebuilds. Anyone that knows ANYTHING about aircraft will tell you that type of "lifespan" for an engine is acceptable for PROTOTYPES only. To imagine this or anything from this design would alter the war was pure folly.
Unless it saves on losses of planes in total. Each mission is 1 hour. THat's 10 missions. Considering how outclassed the Germans were against the bombers this might save on planes lost. With 4 30mm and assume it shoots down a bomber every second mission without a loss of a plane, that sounds like a win to me
@@alastair9446 LOL!!! My God man, do NOT try to ever balance your own books: leave that to others. Seriously, not even close even if you DOUBLED the operational lifespan of the engines. lol
@@GrumblingGrognard It's not about making a profit in war. Everyone loses in war, you just got to lose less than the other guy. It's only the USA who makes profit in war.
@@alastair9446 You are being foolish. Not an insult, just a fact. If your aircraft is on the ground, it does not matter how great it COULD BE in the air. No matter how you want it to be, a 10-hour TOTAL LIFESPAN for a combat jet for a nation scraping the bottom of the barrel for resources is an insanely BAD idea.
@@GrumblingGrognard Okay, let's talk numbers. In normal air-air combat the Me 262 only lost 3 fighters and shot down 542. That is a big win. But there was a problem, the Germans had lost air superiorty at this time so they could not protect their air fields. So when they came in for a landing the allies would shoot them down resulting in a 100 lost in the air. Even then that's still a big win of 5.5:1 kill ratio. If you look at the kill ratio of the other fighers the allies achieved 14:1 kill ratio in their favour with the Mustang. The Me-262 was doing better then anything else and winning despite the odds.

the spit will punish you bad if u don't use the 109s strengths correctly , speed , climb and less drag.... soon as you get into the spits energy state(you made error already) or less you are getting into trouble if u leave/left it too late. the 109 (of same time period)can always out energy fight a spit, when flown correctly... (except when u get caught a lower state, or eqaul and its on your six, only mistakes , skill and luck can save u then. All these 109s failed due to poor energy management or having less energy at start )
also I noticed in il-2 GB a burning plane often will explode after a time if u take too long to bail, I don't think that mechanic is in COD, they just keep burning.

Is there a complete documentation available?
Yes there is
funny that the allies especially the americans shot pilots on parachutes.... good guys ehhh ?
Maybe but The Huns were masters
That might have happened a couple times, but certainly not as often a neo nazi sympathizers like yourself would try to make us believe.
@@buddyollieextreme9590 Never heard of Adolf Galland? He strongly rejected the idea of shooting enemy airmen in their parachutes, even if over their own territory, as he felt it was equal to murder.

Make Germany great again.
If Germany produced a big number of me 262, the outcome of war would have been a disaster for the allies .
The war is won on the ground, not in the air. It could have been a challenge, but Germany didn't have the capabilities of winning the war.
@@TheMinipily why ?. i will answer u man .this happened for several reasons , firstly ,the german army was fighting on many fronts not on one front , secondly , hitler had the best military commanders but he didn't give them the total freedom in planing for battles always he interfered , thirdly , the german weapons such as tiger and panther tanks were much developed than the allies and russian tanks and the ME 262 as well but the big problem is the shortage of the manufactured quantities compered with russian ellution planes and t_34 tanks in addition to allies weapons
@@TheMinipily and their r alots of reasons for defeat of germany in ww2 we cannot mention them if we want to talk about that our speech would have no end but the air superiority of the allies was one if the most important reason for defeating germany and nice to talk to u minipily
@@mohammadnawafleh5678 Main factor Germany couldn't win is they simply are not a large country. They do not have the fuel or supplies to expand and carry on a large war. Countries like for example, Russia and America however have near endless amounts of fuel, oil and industry to expand. This alone really counts as a major figure to why Germany was destined to fail, but there's plenty more besides. I mean, hell, you said some of them yourself.
Main issue with the German equipment. It's fancy and overly engineered. Yes it can make a difference IF it makes it to a battle, but that's a big if. The Allies however stuck to designs that could be easily maintained.
I'll leave a simple example for you:
Tiger Tank Transmission Maintenance: To replace the Transmission on a Tiger I Tank, probably the most common issue but could be avoided with an exceedingly well trained crew, the entire turret would first need to be taken off the vehicle. The turret was incredibly heavy and would require a specialised crane, not a piece of equipment that you have ready in the field generally. Once that is done, you would then need to unbolt the upper hull plate and take away the hull plate. Once that is taken away, you would need to strip out the entire radio set from the front and then disassemble the drivers controls as well as disconnect the tracks and main sprockets. Once all of this is done, you should then have clear access to the transmission and can take it out to be replaced. This is incredibly difficult to do in the battlefield if one breaks down, and thus, a lot of Tiger I's were abandoned by their crews once they broke down. In good conditions, all of this would take the better part of a day.
Sherman Tank Transmission Maintenance: To replace the transmission on a Sherman Tank, you would simply need to strip out the drivers controls and disconnect the tracks and main sprockets. Once this is done, the front lower glacis plate is unscrewed and stripped away from the vehicle. This plate contains the transmission. You can then rerplace the transmission plate, reconnect the previously disconnected parts and be underway. This was REGULARILY done in battlefield conditions (see archived photographs) and would take little time. In good conditions, all of this would most likely take an hour.
Note also, that ENTIRE Sherman tanks were being shipped from the United States in just parts. So, there was an almost endless amount of parts and if a crew had their tank knocked out, they would be able to climb out of their destroyed Sherman and simply get a new one.
This is quite a good video if you'd like to learn about some of the myths behind the Sherman, though there's even more points to go over that was missed here: th-cam.com/video/bNjp_4jY8pY/w-d-xo.html
But I'm rambling. Yes, in the end the Me-262 would have had no real great benefit other than perhaps cause some slight delays to smaller attacks and ensure that many parents wouldn't see their children come home. However you are right on your last part, Allied Air Supremacy certainly did help the allies win the war, but I concur that the war is still indeed won on the ground. As one says, the Rifleman comes first and his support comes second.
@@TheMinipily u r completely right , i know exactly what u say but because i like germany i said this , germany is one country , it logically cannot defeat the western allies and russia together , you convenced me when u said germany did not have the fuel and the big industry to expand its war production ,thank you for this valuable informations
Luckily for allies that they didn’t have these in the early stages of the war
It's lucky for the Germans the Americans didn't finish the A-bomb until after VE-Day.

Why Storm Bird? The ME-262 was named “Schwälbe” or Swallow
If it’s a reference to the blazing speed the Schwälbe had, then please forgive me
Would it not be because of the swept wings of the ME-262, the first plane to use swept wings a swallow. THe storm bird would be the bomber version of the me-262.
@@alastair9446 the CAS-Capable version of the Me-262 was named Storm Bird, or Sturmvogel, but it's reference that it was at the time the fastest CAS-capable Aircraft in the world
It's sexed-up pop history. They don't let the facts get in their way.
Too bad the audio was messed up. Low frequencies only and no higher frequencies, precisely the very opposite to what is needed for understandability of speech. What a shame. Would have liked to be able to understand what is being said.
@3:56 Galland?
ask the 8th air force why it was 2 years too late
How ????

Ja. Dann wäre der 2 Weltkrieg anders ausgegangen. Berlin und Hamburg wären durch die Atombomben ,die auf Japan gefallen sind ,zerstört. Millionen Menschen wären noch mehr gestorben.Und das Unrecht das durch Deutschland in die Welt getragen wurde, wäre noch grösser
Me-262s took the lives of both my American grandparents. We should ban the Me-262 because of their terrorism in the skies.
Your grandparents were fooled by the bankers.
Thus no surprise !
We should ban the Me-262 for killing all those allied pilots and their planes.
WW2 is anti climax of colonialism practice...Nature always has the way for balancing ...
lol! Yep, simple answers for simple minds.
but hitler with his desire for bombers delayed the 262

Madei in germany first .cobra
The me 262 was untill the 50 s the fastest fighter planes if the world. Howard Hughes, he was feel trickout by the air force by hims wooden goose Hugh water plane. The air force not ordered it. So he wants revenge . He take a me 262. Change her to A racing one. Hight aerodynamic. And call the us air force p80 to race. But, the air force denied.
Luckely the Germans made this plane. Otherwise we would still fly with AVGAS.
? what? for your information, the germans was not alone to built turbo jet engines: the Brits made it in same time and the french built a prototype turbojet in 1939 (Rateau SRA-1)...and a turbo jet can run with avgas, need only some settings...
@@leneanderthalien otherwise see for italian Caproni-Campini since 1941.
@@leneanderthalien True, but the the Germans made the only engine and airframe worth mentioning.
All others appear like hobbyists !
Not really, the allies also had a jet fighter the gloster meteor which was kept in England to shoot down V1 bombs. Althought the ME-262 was probably better due to swept wings.
@@alastair9446 It is not only a matter of swept wings.
Transsonic airplanes also need a horizontal and vertical stabilizer, swept even more, to keep the airplane controllable.
Engines should be positioned below the upper wing surface not to speed up the airflow (nowadays even on pylons).
Such airplanes need a all moving horizontal stabilizer to overcome the torque of the n-wave and leading edge flaps since the airfoils for high speed are unsuitable for take off and landing.
The me262 had all these features - the Meteor none !
ONLY fitting that Germany came-up with jet propulsion.
they did invent the first flamethrower which does have similarities
in a simpler form.
@@haywoodyoudome Maybe, but theit cooking is horrible
Jet engines were a British invention. Germans just made crude copies.
Not really, it was actually a English man who came up with the idea first. The allies also had the gloster meteor during ww2 which was kept in ENgland to shoot down V1 bombs. The Germans were just desperate so they rushed their plane.
,Για γιά αλαρμ ...
Too little too late! ..A year earlier and as planned it would have chopped up the American Bomber streams to bits and they would have hardly got a shot off in defence
Correct. As with much of the German technologies and advantages, it was completely wasted by Hitler's intervention and misdirection. Thank God for that, or the war would've ended differently.

Beautiful looking plane. To slow to accelerate, turning circle too wide, too slow to decelerate. Commanded by fools (high command)
The crew very desorganized
Surely the most over-rated aircraft of WW2. The engines had an operational life of 10 hours. That is 10 hours total, not 10 hours between rebuilds. Anyone that knows ANYTHING about aircraft will tell you that type of "lifespan" for an engine is acceptable for PROTOTYPES only. To imagine this or anything from this design would alter the war was pure folly.
Unless it saves on losses of planes in total. Each mission is 1 hour. THat's 10 missions. Considering how outclassed the Germans were against the bombers this might save on planes lost. With 4 30mm and assume it shoots down a bomber every second mission without a loss of a plane, that sounds like a win to me
@@alastair9446 LOL!!! My God man, do NOT try to ever balance your own books: leave that to others. Seriously, not even close even if you DOUBLED the operational lifespan of the engines. lol
@@GrumblingGrognard It's not about making a profit in war. Everyone loses in war, you just got to lose less than the other guy. It's only the USA who makes profit in war.
@@alastair9446 You are being foolish. Not an insult, just a fact. If your aircraft is on the ground, it does not matter how great it COULD BE in the air. No matter how you want it to be, a 10-hour TOTAL LIFESPAN for a combat jet for a nation scraping the bottom of the barrel for resources is an insanely BAD idea.
@@GrumblingGrognard Okay, let's talk numbers. In normal air-air combat the Me 262 only lost 3 fighters and shot down 542.
That is a big win.
But there was a problem, the Germans had lost air superiorty at this time so they could not protect their air fields. So when they came in for a landing the allies would shoot them down resulting in a 100 lost in the air. Even then that's still a big win of 5.5:1 kill ratio. If you look at the kill ratio of the other fighers the allies achieved 14:1 kill ratio in their favour with the Mustang. The Me-262 was doing better then anything else and winning despite the odds.
