The Heinkel He 280 was the first turbojet-powered fighter aircraft in the world. It was inspired by Ernst Heinkel's emphasis on research into high-speed flight and built on the company's experience with the He 178 jet prototype. A combination of technical and political factors led to it being passed over in favor of the Messerschmitt Me 262. Only nine were built and none reached operational status.
Weaponry:
3 MG-151/20 cannons
2 wire guided air-to-air missiles "Ruhrstahl X-4"
Max speed: ~745 kmh on the water level and about 1145kmh on 5km. Enjoy your flight!
