Me 262 HG-III
Proposed Third "High Speed" variant, only progressed to wind tunnel model stage. This was the last and the pinnacle of the Me-262 aerodynamical possibility, would have been built from ground up as a new Me-262 instead of modifying older ones. In the Me-262 HG-III its wings were swept at 45 degrees, it also had the aforementioned "racing" style cockpit, however largest change was the moving of the engine nacelles right into the fuselage side and changing the engines to the more powerful He S 011 engines
