The ME 262 would have to be the fastest fighter of Ww2

Answer Me262, the world's first combat jet fighter ever. With a top speed of 540 mph, it outclassed every other fighter the world had to offer. The fighter had poor turning, and attempting to do so in a fight would slow it down. The Me262's immense speed meant that no one could ever hope to outrun it. Once it finished a pass, it could pull up and nothing could track it without stalling first.

In the end, most of the Me262's were destroyed on the ground, and the remaining were captured by American and Soviet troops after the war.

Incidentally, the Me262 wasn't the only World War II-era jet fighter. The Gloster Meteor, a British-manufactured turbojet fighter, was the first and only allied jet fighter to enter combat. It was significantly slower than the Me262, with a top speed of just 415 mph, but it was far more reliable.

Answer

The fastest Fighter in WWII was the ME163 Comet, a German rocket powered fighter, not jet, designed to intercept high flying bombers. Answer

The Me-163 was a rocket with wings and a cannon and was limited to 8 minutes of burn time. It would fly vertically and reach the bomber formations and then glide down for an attack and return to base.
