HISTORY OF Me-163
-The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was a
German rocket-powered interceptor aircraft.
Designed by Alexander Lippisch, it is the only
rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have
been operational and the first piloted aircraft
of any type to exceed 1000 km/h (621 mph) in
level flight. Its performance and aspects of its
design were unprecedented. German test
pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached
1,130 km/h (700 mph), an unofficial flight
airspeed record unmatched by turbojet-
powered aircraft for almost a decade. Over
300 Komets were built, but the aircraft
proved ineffective in its dedicated role as an
interceptor and destroyed about nine to 18
Allied aircraft against 10 losses. Aside from
combat losses many pilots were killed during
testing and training.
