The P-59 Airacomet was the United States’ first jet fighter, developed during World War II. It was designed by Bell Aircraft in response to Germany’s early jet aircraft, like the Me 262.
• First flight: October 1, 1942
• Role: Jet fighter (initially intended for combat)
• Engines: Two General Electric turbojets
• Performance: Top speed around 413 mph, but it was slower and less maneuverable than contemporary propeller fighters, so it never saw combat.
• Legacy: Though not used in battle, the P-59 was crucial for training pilots and testing jet technology, paving the way for future U.S. jet fighters like the F-80 Shooting Star.
