Messerschmitt Me 262 'Schwalbe'

4,090 Hypixel  4.4 years ago

This was fun to make and even more fun to fly, becuase it flew on the 4th try, rather than the 14th. Anyways, The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II began, but problems with engines, metallurgy and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster and more heavily armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor. There is some Me 262 history, so enjoy!

WARNING

When taking off, put the slider halfway up the trim bar (the right-side bar). Then, allow the jet to take off on it's own(it can). Pull up gently if you want to speed it's ascent up. DO NOT PULL UP AS SOON AS IT SPEEDS UP!!!!!
