Messerschmitt Me 262

The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe (German for Swallow) was the world's first operational turbojet fighter aircraft.[4] It was produced in World War II and saw action starting in 1944 as a multi-role fighter/bomber/reconnaissance/interceptor warplane for the Luftwaffe.
Die Messerschmitt Me 262 war das erste einsatzfähige Militärflugzeug mit Strahltriebwerken; es wurde als Jäger (Schwalbe) und als Jagdbomber (Sturmvogel) während des Zweiten Weltkriegs produziert.

Wirklich ein historisches Flugzeug! Mehr Videos als Flugzeuge.

Damn! I read about the me 262s years ago in the Time Life ww2 cars. I just saw RED TAILS movie. Holly shit! Those 262s were rollin'. It wasn't as if the Mustang p-51s were slow fighters.

amazing footage and thank you for sharing it with us

@Badger071
Currently, most sources acknowledge that the MiG-15 is an original design benefiting from German research, but conceived, designed, engineered, and produced by the Soviets
Mig 15 jet engine is a reversed engineered UK Rolls-Royce Nene jet engine not a german jet engine technology.

@doktorbimmer The first patent for using a gas turbine to power an aircraft was filed in 1921 by Frenchman Maxime Guillaume. His engine was an axial-flow turbojet.
No modern turbojets use 'german' axial flow design. It was definitely a inspiration but german engineering especially 004 Jumo jet engine which powered the Me 262 lacked strategic metals in quantity. Especially metals and alloys able to handle the extreme temperatures.

very good video,,, M 262 10 or 15 years ahead of all the others looking at it in awh!!

@Badger071 your'e right! Rickover was known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy", which as of July 2007 had produced 200 nuclear-powered submarines, and 23 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and cruisers. Rickover became the longest-serving naval officer in U.S. history with 63 years active duty.

@Badger071 totally wrong - post ww2 USN developement centered on nuclear propulsion not electric propulsion submarines. The whole USN was centered on nuclear propulsion from / a surface naval force centered on nuclear powered aircraft carriers battle groups too USN nuclear submarines that formed part of the US strategic nuclear deterrent agianst the USSR during the Cold War. The russian navy was a 'brown water' navy it's operations in coastal waters merited electric subs.

@Badger071 Wir waren dein Amerikanern 25 Jahre in Raketetntechnologie voraus!
Die V-2 konnte schon in den Weltraum fliegen und was meint ihr wie die US-Amerikaner so schnell auf dem Mond landen konnten? Wegen dem deutschen Erfinder Werner von Braun und Deutscher Technologie!

Ahhh yet another bueatiful marvel of German engeniering

@Badger071 Axial compressor is not "german technology". It is the obvious way to try to build a jet engine. It was Whittle who made a deliberate excursion with the radial compressor since he (correctly) guessed it would prove a less troubled path in the beginning. Work on the P-86/F-86 project started in May '44. The late starting americans worked on both technologies during the war. The radial J-33 and the axial J-35. The J-47 of the F-86 is a development of the J-35. _American_ jet technology.

@Badger071 Revolutionary technology takes time to mature. . Pumping unrestricted investments into immature technological R&D can certainly improve the pace of progress, but cannot guarantee the solution of all problems inherent in new technology. The story of jet engine development in Germany during WWII is a classical example of premature introduction of immature technology into operational use. Germany's lack of the required chrome, nickel, cobalt and molybdenum meant poor jet engines.

best, best video, sensacionality.

[@doktorbimmer]

WRONG! A German, Von Ohain invented the axial flow turbojet not whittle, the centrifugal flow type(whittle type) was seen early on by the Germans as a "evolutionary dead end" All modern turbojet aircraft today use the German axial flow design.

[@fluffy1931]

@Badger071 inspiration is great. But the USN and US taxpayers put their money into a navy centered on nuclear propulsion not electric powered submarines. FYI if you would like to investigate US Defense Budgets from 1945-2010 primarily looking at the USN budget on submarines not even a fraction of it's budget was spent on electric propulsion submarine technology or actual submarines.
