Are you shure? In den Jahren 2004/2005 wurden in Everett im US-Bundesstaat Washington einige Nachbauten fertiggestellt, die auf dem im National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola ausgestellten Doppelsitzer basierten. Dieser wurde dazu durch das Projekt restauriert und vermessen. Eine dieser Maschinen, die mit geringem Umbauaufwand sowohl als einsitzige als auch als doppelsitzige Variante geflogen werden kann, gehört der Messerschmitt Stiftung und ist im Flugmuseum Messerschmitt in Manching ausgestellt. Sie flog erstmals am 25. April 2006 mit dem Kennzeichen D-IMTT. Diese Maschine wurde auf der Internationalen Luftfahrtausstellung in Berlin-Schönefeld vom 16. bis 21. Mai 2006 zum ersten Mal vor Publikum geflogen und wird seitdem auf zahlreichen Flugtagen in Europa präsentiert.

Fantastic video thank you

To think it was designed at the end of the 30's, Hitler didn't want it at the time because he thought the Me109 would do the job, if put earlier into production bombing runs would have been fewer and costlier. This was only one of many jet aircraft from Germany, the Horten HO 229 was another fine example.

What is beautiful and lovely engine sound

Such a marvel, and a beautiful aircraft.

Great video, about a great plane. You can see it's American because Europe, especially Germany does not allow the swatztika on anything, even in museums. There was a company making exact replicas with General Electric or Lycoming turbines. The original Jumo engines were very fragile. The Me262 is one of the most inspired designs.

Thank god this superb aircraft was not available to the Luftwaffe until too late. This is a superb example Does it have the original engines. ? The benefit to the allies when they fell into their hands was immense, 262 did Not always have the advantage . I read a log entry from a spitfire pr 19 pilot who dodged an attack from a A262 by slowing rapidly dodging into a cloud and the jet massively overshot him. The jets wide turning circle enabled the Spit pilot to make good his escape.

I wonder how this plane would have faired against it's British jet powered contemporaries , the Gloster Meteor and the De Havilland Vampire. I know Meteors were in service with the RAF before the wars end, but as far as I understand it , they were never deployed over seas , they were sometimes used to catch and shoot down V1 flying bombs.

Beautiful and unique design. Although it's a mystery why it wasn't designed with the jets incorporated in the wings and hanging from the wings!

They needed to be able to swap the engines very quickly as they had such a short service life, 20 to 25 hours. With them being located undergoing it was easy just to drop them down onto a cradle and lift replacements in. If you have them in the centerline of the wings you have a problem with the structural integrity, instead of having continuous strong single spars to hang the engine on you have to have ring spars around the engine, not good. Another point was that the axial flow engines that the Me262 had were of a small diameter than the English centrifugal jets so they could get away with it. Note also that the Boeing 737 looks virtually like an enlarged Me262 so I reckon Willy knew what he was doing.

+rob wilkinson This was a project to copy an original Me-262 while it was disassembled and produce a limited number of flying examples using modern engines. It was a great achievement and they built a total of five, with only four that are capable of flight. All five are sold to owners. Upgrades included modern engines (GE CJ 610), safer brakes and a few structural upgrades to correct an original flaw. They are approved by Messerschmitt in Germany and were assigned sequential serial numbers starting from the last factory example. They have a new type designation as Me-262A-1c , Me-262B-1c, or Me-262A/B-1c, sort of making them a new generation of Me-262. In the meantime, one and only one original Me-262 is being restored for short flights with original Jumo turbines that have been remanufactured using modern aerospace materials and techniques. The original restoration should be finishing up soon unless they encounter problems and cannot fly safely.

Because they always intended to make a limited number. That was in the original business plan. It is a new-build historic aircraft with a very small and wealthy customer base of museums or wealthy collectors. Modern collectors can put their money into many markets such as gold, real estate, art, antiquities but they don't want to lose equity. So making a limited number of these aircraft would keep their value up and attract the right types of investors who would buy such an aircraft. They made four airworthy and one static museum aircraft. It was still a difficult aircraft to sell because these collectors prefer historic aircraft with an actual wartime provenance and history. For example, the Flying Heritage Collection museum purchased an original Me-262 and is working on their own restoration.

1. In Russia, Stalin wanted to modernize and issued orders to scrap all WW2 aircraft, including captured German planes for raw materials to build his new Soviet Air Force. This included raw materials from Soviet occupied territories. 2. In Germany, the Allies had organized demilitarization and scrapping. Some scrap dumps that were buried were excavated by scrap metal merchants in the 50's to rebuild the German economy. (Similar scrap metal merchants went through the South Pacific islands in the 50s to gather scrap war materials that was easy to get to.) 3. The British scrapped a number of their captured aircraft (such as their Ta-152 for example) 4. In the US, the AAF began scrapping captured aircraft by 1946-1947. General Hap Arnold had the wisdom to set aside examples of aircraft that were donated to the Smithsonian Museum. The Cold War was starting, and the Korean War was on the horizon and the jet era had begun. Back then, old piston aircraft were not that important.
