Hi everybody !
In this post I'm going to tell you something about Schwable. It was one of the first jet planes ever created. Take a look :
History :
In 1938 III Reich wanted Messerschmidtt to build a plane , which is powered by BMW gas turbines. First prototype was created before engines were ready , so it used standard engines with proppelers.
Second prototype took flight on 25 march 1942. On 18 march 1945 only 37 Me262 stopped allied bombing expedition which counted : 1221 bombers , and 632 escort fighters. They shot down 12 bombers and one fighter losing only 3 planes. They couldn't fight in circles , because allied figters were more agile than Sturmvogel.
Technical thingies:
Year of serial production beginning: 1944
Weponary: 4 30mm canonons
Top speed : 872km/h
Weight: 3795 kg
Me262 was the first jet fighter ever created. It was very effective , but use a way too much fuel.
See ya
