This is an updated version of the post https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/17Ss54/Heinkel-He-162. It fixes a couple of issues including a reversed cockpit and kamikaze guns, as well as a slight update to the craft's frame. The Heinkel He 162 was a plane produced by the Luftewaffe during World War II. Primarily constructed from wood, it was one of the fastest jet fighters of the time. This model is capable of near historical speeds, with an average cruising speed of 720mph. When at speeds around or above 600mph, this fighter is capable of performing relatively tight turns while being very difficult to stall. Feel free to change anything and reupload as a modefied craft, just leave a link to this page in your description.
