The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German for "Swallow") in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel ("Storm Bird") in fighter-bomber versions, is a fighter aircraft and fighter-bomber that was designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Messerschmitt.
The Junkers Jumo 004 was the world's first production turbojet engine in operational use, and the first successful axial compressor turbojet engine. Some 8,000 units were manufactured by Junkers in Germany late in World War II, powering the Messerschmitt Me 262 fighter and the Arado Ar 234 reconnaissance/bomber, along with prototypes, including the Horten Ho 229.
Reproduction Messerschmitt Me 262 W.Nr.501244 produced by the project in 2006 Reproduction Messerschmitt Me 262 W.Nr.501244 operated as D-IMTT at the Berlin Air Show 2016. The Me 262 Project is a company formed to build flyable reproductions of the Messerschmitt Me 262, the world's first operational jet fighter. The project was started by the ...
The engines are also used in the flyable Messerschmitt Me 262 reproductions built by the Me 262 Project in the United States. A development, the CF700 , added a rear-mounted fan mounted directly on the free-running low-pressure turbine.
The Mistel V was a composite bomber comprising a Heinkel He 162A-2 piloted component and a specially developed Arado E377 glider bomb. Due to shortages at the Arado design offices, several other composites were studied as replacements for the Arado E377, and in late 1944 Junkers proposed the Ju268 as an alternate bomber component for the Mistel V, with a Messerschmitt Me 262 studied as an ...

Plans for the bunker called for a massive reinforced concrete barrel vault composed of 12 arch sections under which Messerschmitt Me 262 jet engines would be manufactured in a nine-storey factory. Upon completion these were to be sent to a similar installation in the area of Landsberg am Lech (codename Weingut II ), where the final assembly of ...
Mutke went into a steep 40° dive with full engine power. While passing through the altitude of 12,000 metres (39,000 ft), his Me 262 started to vibrate and began swinging from side to side. The airspeed indicator was stuck against its limit of 1,100 km/h (684 mph) (the maximum speed of the Me 262 is 870 kilometres per hour (540 mph)).
