in the late seventies/early eighties the RAAF Museum at RAAF Point Cook had a genuine Me-262, still with original engines. not 100% certain but I believe it was given/loaned to the war memorial at Canberra. Interesting fact is that it had several paint jobs, all applied on top of the original paint job. When stripped back for renovation/restoration the original Hakenkreuz could be seen on the tail
the engines in these had a very short service life last I heard the only flyable ME 262 has a Bristol engines in it to get it to fly the British Meteor that is still flyable still has its original engines
The initial P.1065 looked nothing like the ME262 as it had straight wings. But as the Jumo engines were heavier over than expected the wings had to be swept to restore the CG position (just like what needed to be done to the Douglas DC-1). This 18 degree wing sweep increased the top speed by 40kmh, a latter design was to be fitted with 35 degree swept wings which would have had a significant increase in air speed.

That cannon variant looks so stunning, what an incredible aircraft, decades ahead of its time and still looks modern
Really interesting + a very professional, unexagerated delivery.
Great stuff 👍
The only surviving Me262 two seat night fighter is at the Johannesburg museum along with an Fw190 and an Me109 and a pristine 88mm flak gun.
Wow lots of things I did'nt know about The Me-262
Very informative
nice video, thank you!
This is absolutely interesting. Just amazing work!

First class, well done. I'm going to to this one again now.
Better second go-round
Very good video.
This is EXCELLENT!… BRAVO!
There was also a one off high-speed version that featured a low profile or "racing canopy!"
A great interesting video.
Messerschmitt is pronounced flawlessly, a rare thing to hear from an english speaking narrator 👍
But all other names are being pronounced wrong.
The V suffix or prefix stood for "verprobung", or test rather than a model number.
Great example at R.A.F. Cosford Air Museum.

I can't wait to see that original 262 in the States fly!

Massively increase speed ?? 262 was unsuitable for that mach number not supersonic
Wouldn't it be awesome to fly some of they in warthunder?

Partly true. The airframe was wind tunnel tested, it was determined that the inboard section should also be swept.
Top speed of test me262 624mph
Unique is unique, one only. (it's Latin) Nothing is "particularly unique" . . .

There is a unconfirmed story about chech 262 being tested by israeli air force. It may have seen some action, but blew up in the air.
Problem would always be unreliable engine's
Lackof fuel............DUH!
Amazing how far ahead the Germans were, they just had their fingers in too many pies.

So where was Albert Einstein born then?
His theory helped build the atom bomb.
They could have ruled the world without firing a shot.
