The Messerschmitt Me262 "Swallow" was in reality your whole earth's very first practical jet-powered fighter aircraft. Formally called "Swallow", the Allies called it the �Storm bird�. The Me262 had a negligible impact on the period for the WWII, but its design was in fact really influential on postwar aircraft development. Its first test journey was in 1941, but cannot see practical solution until July1944. Including all variants, about 1,430 Me262's was produced.
