What is the name of the oldest jet airplane?
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.

What is the white smoke that airplanes leave behind?
The white line you see in the sky behind an airplane is water- water vapor. Known as a contrail (for conensation trail), this is visible when the very large amount of water vapor created by burning jet fuel meets the VERY cold air at high altitudes. Just as you can see your breath on a cold day, you can see the "breath" of the airplane engine. Jet aircraft may fly at 30,000 to 40,000 feet of altitude- where the air is -70 degrees F.
