This aircraft was the first version of the Me-262, this was the aircraft the allies discovered that made them realize that the Germans were testing jet aircraft, major differances between the combat Me-262 and this version is that this aircraft had straight wings and was a tailsitter, eventually modifications would lead to the legendary Me-262 we know today (trim for landing gear, extreme climb)
