Beautiful aeroplane, design over 80 years now and still looks modern. How advanced they were swept wings while the allies made their early jets with straight wings.
The reason that they swept the wings back was because they had a problem with the C of G with the aeroplane, the only way they could move the engines back to correct it was to sweep the wings. Made a jet aircraft look beautiful.
" what was that? what the hell was that? it went by like we were standing still" it was the Messerschmitt Me 262 it flies 150 miles an hour faster than our fastest fighters
That silhouette is just stunning. I am blessed that the Spitfire passes where I live many times and that engine see's me running to the garden each time it flies over, but that Me 262......
I think these were introduced at the end of ww2 or there abouts but very good to see it still flying like all classics from around that era . Truly great to see flying still

Unfortunately, they're not. This is a replica, albeit a really good one. Apart from the engines, which are relatively modern ones, it's as close to the original as it gets.
@@ElwynR Precisely. There are about 5 made with the blessing of Messerschmidt AG (who got one). The engines are the civilian version of the popular GE J85 (used in the F-5 and countless other aircraft).

No way the engines are original, they only lasted 8 hours. Amazing non the less; we truly are in a golden age with more old marks being restored back to flight.
No, modern engines. You’d have to be nuts to fly one on the originals. I think they lasted longer than 8 hours, but not by much. 25 hours was the figure I remember, then they had to be replaced.

It helps if you can read and search for the german word, which is "nachbau". Then you find the following (among other details): max. Speed 780km/h engines 2x GE CJ-610-9 power output 2x 13,8 kN (1.406 kp) The engines are used mostly in business jets like Learjets and others.
@@ElwynR Wrong bro. It is "quasi -replica! Because this plane was made in US with shortened US CJ610 turbojet engine and have new serial number and this version is called A1c😉

Fun fact the Horton 229 and the Messerschmitt 262 used the same jet engines although the Horton would never see combat, yet it’s design would soon be used to create the B2 spirit of today.
This is false. The HO 229 was not in anyway an inspiration to the B2, this is a popular myth it was and devalues the original engineer who was also responsible for the design
3rd Reich was built on fear and corruption, with self serving , foolish leaders. It would have imploded sooner or later without any interference from the Allies. Thank God America did follow Britain and bring about it’s demise earlier.
