History
The Heinkel He 280 was the first turbojet-powered fighter aircraft in the world. It was inspired by Ernst Heinkel's emphasis on research into high-speed flight and built on the company's experience with the He 178 jet prototype. A combination of technical and political factors led to it being passed over in favor of the Messerschmitt Me 262.Only nine were built and none reached operational status

Nice job as always!
@Typhoon03 Oh, ok.
@lilgreen06
Actually the Me 262 was the first operational jet fighter. This was the first jet aircraft developed as a fighter, although it was cancelled before it became operational.
Nice, looks really cool! but it looks more like an ME 262, That was the first jet fighter for Germany, not the Heinkel He280, but it still looks cool! you did a very nice job, I will have to fly it after school.
