The Messerschmitt Me262 "Swallow" are the world's very first functional jet-powered fighter aircraft. Formally called "Swallow", the Allies called it the �Storm bird�. The Me262 had a negligible impact the full time of WWII, but its design finished up being exceedingly influential on postwar aircraft development. Its first test trip was at 1941, but cannot see operational solution until July1944. Including all variations, about 1,430 Me262's have already been produced.
