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.
The name of the war plan that Indian President Prathibha Patel set a record in to be the oldest woman to fly in a combat jet was a Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter jet aircraft.
Airplane is a device powered either by a piston engine and prop or by a jet engine.
Propellers have limits to how fast they can push - or pull - an airplane through the air. The limits are caused by the dynamics of airflow over the propeller blade itself, which is basically just a small wing. The jet engine allowed airplanes to fly much faster, faster than the speed of sound. Special types of jet engines, like those used on the SR-71 allow the airplane to fly faster than three times the speed of sound. Newer types of engines, called "scramjets", can push an airplane up to 6, 7 and even 8 times the speed of sound.
