Gloster meteor

Auto Credit Based on MakeshiftPlanes's 1946-1980's Fighter Challenge (1k Special :D) (FIXED DESC)

This plane is for the 1946-1990s challenge, and I hope everyone enjoys! Take off with full power and once at 300mph reduce to half-thrust or 50%. Why? Otherwise you will rip the wings off of it. HISTORY- The Gloster meteor started service in 1945 apearing in the last fights against the German empire. With no less than 2 powerful rolls-rouce jet engines the most unique engines in the world

    Cont. and the whole reason of the war against the Soviet Union was because someone gave the plans to the soviets which was bound for destruction, but that’s a different story. This plane was the most powerful of its kind but there was a catch... unlike all the other propeller planes of the era if it lost control of an engine it was goodnight sweet world hello heaven(excuse the pun). Numerous accidents contributed to the “execution” of early models.
