    • @shadowmanwkp

      Yeah, the 262 is remarkable for its potential, but it was one of the several death throes of a losing enemy.
      Germany at the time had massive supply issues, so jet fuel was scarce and engines were recycled constantly. Not to mention that factories got captured rapidly, diminishing the output even further.

      I had to fortune to talk to an old WW2 vet who was a front line engineer. His unit was one of the first to encounter an ME 262 airfield. This was the first time that they had seen a jet and their original thoughts were "where are the propellers"? It was would be today's equivalent of seeing an airplane without any engines under the wings.

It's just that they didn't really saw the point at the time, and still heavely invested in the piston engine that was at the time way more reliable, and much cheaper.

We germans call it Hakenkreuz (hooked cross). Aryan just means "noble" in indogermanic roots. The aryan stuff wasn't originally used by nazis, but by british 19th century authors who invented all that stuff, which the nazis builded their ideology on. Tell me, why is it more narcisstic for the germans to call themself the "noble people", than for the persians? By the way, they wasn't probably the first one either, who used that word.

What probably happened is that the Me262 would close at a very high speed compared to the bomber and that high speed already freezes the controls to some extent. Secondly the armament of the Me262 was low velocity 30mm cannons that were difficult to aim because the pilots had to lead their target a lot and only had very low aiming windows because of the high speed of the plane. Secondly, you cant tell your aircrew that they cant do anything against the enemy and still expect them to keep morals up. Instead tell them that if you try a sharp turn you will make it, even though its probably pretty futile.
      If you were to measure the time it takes a Wellington bomber and a Me262 to do a 360 turn at their most maneuveable speed the Me262 would be far superior for obvious reasons

They were even given their own 'c' designation that referred to the GE J85 engine used.

    My Dad was in Europe during that conflict. He was checking out some skid marks on the Autobahn. He said "What could have been going on here?" So he started looking and checking. He found a brand new Me262 camouflaged off to one side. They were using the Autobahn for a runway. The skid marks were from landing. He said he went up to it and rubbed his hand on the leading edge. "You didn't dare do any more than that. It might have been boobytrapped."
    I went to an airshow and looked at an A10. I rubbed the leading edge and remembered him and his story.

    Very cool bird! Yes I'm still impressed how clean was the Me-262 to be 70 years ago! Probably the original Jumo was more noisy and less high pitched because of it's lower rpm compared to the modern jets and of course far more temperamental to nurse around because of it's chronic lack of high quality alloys! But despite all those engines were very well built even up to the end and who flew those airplanes all said that it's flying quality was very good! Perhaps it's biggest drawback was the lack of air breaks because of the difficult handling of it's engine and it's unstable flight characteristic at top speed! But that was shared with almost all the early jet fighters! All in all an impressive airplane!

    A detailed breakdown for all you eager young minds that like to analyze. Along with context and reasoning herr and there.
    0:21 the Marshal pays close attention to the #2 engine and relevant structuring to make sure all is well. Meanwhile the starter is accelerating the engine towards self-operating power.
    0:24 flame-on. Engine is brought up to flight idle power (or maybe a bit less. Varies from plane to plane) to provide air/electrical power to start engine #1.
    Observe the thermal-air distortion above the main landing gear wheel.
    0:54 the pilot is requesting the Fire Marshal's permission to begin starting sequence for Engine #1. The Marshal gives the all-clear as he moves because he knows it's safe to start.
    1:00 listen closely. You can hear Engine #2's rpm drop slightly as it's load is suddenly increased by spooling up Engine #1.
    Same thing happens in your car when you turn the air conditioning on. More load on the engine, more work for it to do. Doesn't harm it of course, but slows it down slightly. If that engine were left on ground idle, the load would overwhelm it and slow the turbines down, heating them up VERY quickly. And stalling the compressor. Which is a turbine's equivalent of a "backfire." And THAT would not be a fun time for the Fire Marshal.
    So the pilot must raise the power, RPMs, and air flow to handle that load.
    1:08 Flame-on Engine #1. Slight lag in rpm increase, (known as a hung start) but it catches up quick enough for a safe, successful start. No more fire risks, so the Marshal does away with the extinguisher.
