The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German: "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: "Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II began, but problems with engines, metallurgy and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster and more heavily armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor.[5] One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II,[6] the Me 262's roles included light bomber, reconnaissance and experimental night fighter versions.

I TRIED TO MAKE THE PERFORMANCE AS CLOSE TO THE REAL PLANE. IT'S JUST THAT I'M NOT SKILLFUL ENOUGH AT BUILDING GOOD PLANES, SO I'M VERY SKEPTICAL THAT THIS WILL DO GOOD.

    This plane design honestly sucks. I know the Me-262 wasn't exactly an agile fighter and had slow turns but this is beyond undoable. Takes literally all the airport runway to barely take off and even then it's very slow.

    @TheCommentReader they are slow to take off, mainly because of the poor stall speed and because of the engines.

    @RuvienRuvienTheCitizen I like Me 262's and I'm an absolute madlad when flying them, and even if it doesn't fly that well, it has the correct fuselage shape, very few users have been able to replicate properly the fuselage of the Me 262.

    @RuvienRuvienTheCitizen I've been looking for a well made 262 airframe for a while, since I'm conducting test on engines of the era (BMW 018 and possibly the Jumo 004 with afterburner). I just need the frame, I can adjust the flight model to the real data :3
