The problem was that are jets in WW2 were no match for the enemies piston-engine planes.

Messerschmitt was the guy who invented the first jet fighter plane.

In 1939-1940, they were building the ME262. Which was the first jet fighter plane. It went 540 mph.

It solved the problem, but we built it too late

When Messerschmitt was making the jet, he was trying to think how to make it work. The first time he made it, he made it with a piston engine. The second time he made it, he made it with a jet engine.

Model of jet engine!?!

The design was to make to first ever jetfighter airplane. The design was quite easy for the Me 262 jet plane. It took about a year for this process. When they first designed it, they made it with a piston engine. When they designed it again, they used two jet engines on the side of the plane. It was almost unstoppable for our enemies.

                                       

So, now they have to build it. This is some of the parts of the jet plane that they put in there.

Aircraft: Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a Schwalbe  Scale: 1/72  Kit: Revell #04166  Parts: 53 pale gray + 3 clear injection molded (2 marked "not for

use") Surface detail: engraved Options: wheels up or down, undernose pylons with fuel drop tanks

or 210 mm WGr21 rocket launchers Decals: 2 options  Accuracy: Pretty accurate, with minor glitches  So now they have tested it and evaluate it. Now they have to redesign

the jet engine. After all of the testes, they have made it so where there is no more

glitches and has way better speed, and accuracy.

When they started marketing it, the army

bought a lot of them to try to win back

the war, but they were too late. The price

for the Me 262 Jet back then was roughly

5.3 pesos.
