The only Jet plane made in World War II was a messerschmitt Me 262. -> No. There were the jetbomber Arado Ar 234, Heinkel He 178 (first flight ever), Heinkel He 162 and 280, Junkers Ju 287, Messerschmitt Me 163, etc, etc, etc, etc. Not all of them really performed missions, as war ended... but quite a few more than just the Me 262.

But I couldn't find any indications of production prizes.

The Me 262 was the world's first operational jet fighter, and its downing marked a significant moment in aviation history.

What is the name of the oldest jet airplane?

Answer First successful jet aircraftfor military use probably the Sabre jet and for commercial flight the comet AnswerNo, certainly not. The first military jet fighter (turbines only) in serial production was the German Messerschmitt ME 262,already in development or developed at the very starting point of world war 2, meaning 1939!!! But the Germans were sceptical and their propeller fighter ME 109 was already the best performing fighter at this time, so ME 262 didn't enter the fights until a short time before war was over.The first official flight of any jet plane - again in Germany (Rostock), again during the preparations for ww2, was made with a Heinkel He 178, 27th of August, 1939. The first rocket propulsed fighter was the Messerschmitt Me 163 - establishing an inofficial world record of 1104 kilometres per hour.All those German planes - I certainly don't think war is a good thing, I'm just admiring the technological development - are great.All first jet fighter of russia, old MiGs and the American ones are quite exact copies of the German models. Logical... as the allies took them when they invaded Germany.
