The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe (Swallow) was the world's first jet fighter aircraft.
Today you can see it flying at the "Flugmuseum Messerschmitt - The flying museum".

Even after 75 years its still a beautiful aircraft.
It looks like an aircraft first designed in like the 1990’s, which is really good considering it was used in 1944-45.
In my opinion the only military jet that's beautiful lol
@@atoka2206
Luftwaffe planes were all hot
I'm partial to the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 myself, but she is pretty yes
262 a Ferrari with wings. Camo paint-job makes it look like a shark..
That sound must have been unreal in WWII. I'd bet many allied pilots would be wondering how the heck does this thing even worked without a propeller back in 1945. And then there was the SPEED.
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.
Russell Robinson Actually there ARE planes without engines in the wing F-86 and MiG-15 for example.
Battleship009 Or basically every military grade plane which isn't a strategic bomber nowadays.
xRazProductions True.
Battleship009 you dont get it do you
No matter how many years pass, this will remain one of the most beautiful jet aircraft of all time. It looks like a leopard shark in the skies. Everything about this plane screams speed, grace and predation.
Too bad its a first jet
Every new breaktrough in technology is quickly out dated
If you are the first you don't know what to expect and where you ll find trouble
Imagine just chilling in your ball turret and this zooms past you for the first time it would be like something from another world
I can’t see ANYONE in a ball turret “chilling”.
The Me262 would whiz past rather fast, could only fire off about 3 rounds of the cannon while in range - slow rate o firing, low muzzle velocity. Not a good gun platform
@@SteveBrownRocks2023 just imagine someone slouching with their arms crossed waiting to get near the target
My uncle was a tail gunner on a B26 and mentioned seeing the 262 on a couple of occasions. Had no idea what it was or what was going on. Was so glad the war was coming to an end.
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 the privilege of meeting some veteran Me 262-pilots during my service with the Luftwaffe in 1999. I was the designated shuttle driver during a wing reunion at Memmingerberg airfield. The old gentlemen were happy to share some stories. Great memories of my younger days.
The German people were great innovators in their time ..no one can take that away .
Were yes.
But not anymore.
The price goes to china and usa these days.
They did themselves. Have you seen their shitty train system?
@@valgo8128 they dont really invent anything. They just take the foundations and improve on them. No real Invention at all.
@@CatnamedMittens have you seen America's shitty train system?
except america took them away after the war, operation paperclip
I really do tip my hat to the Germain engineers whenever I see the 262. Absolutely remarkable aircraft.
My father flew one from Belgium to England at the end of the war. I describe this in an earlier post.
@@angelarainey7258 🤨🤨
Einfach unglaublich beeindruckend! Eine wahre meisterleistung deutscher Ingenieurskraft!
Imagine being a pilot of a P51, being told you are in the best bit of modern technology to date, then you see one of them fly past you.
Scary thoughts
Wait for 262 to land, pound from behind, repeat
You're a sloth, you can't.
262 always had a problem with ammo and fuel, they're limited
Sonny Asif The P51 wasn’t the best piece of technology. The most advanced piston engine fighters to see service in WW2 were probably the Hawker Tempest, Focke Wulf TA 152 and late Griffon powered Spitfires all of which out performed a P51 and had a great deal more fire power.
See them?
Fantastisch !
It is fantastic. One of my grandfather’s decorations was for shooting down 18 of these fuckers during the forcing of Oder river with his anti-aircraft battery. I call it good project management.
RCScaleAirplanes Its Wunderbar
Only 18? Why not 1188?
*1188 ? He cant count so far ;)*
bollocks what a load of bollocks why only 18 why not 10,000
It looks like a modern plane! Imagine seeing this in 1945
Imagine being a allied pilot and having to deal with them.
They got a lot right back then, more than you'd expect.
@@jaywalker712
Easy. Fly a Tempest and just yeet it out of the skies.
The only aircraft the 262 feared was the Hawker Tempest (and Spitfire to a lesser extent) as they were the only Planes that could actually KEEP UP with them in a dive.

Fun fact: Czechoslovak Air Force used Me 262 code named AVIA S-92 right up until 1951 when it was replaced by mig 15
Woe

There are 2 AVIA S-92 still in a museum in Prag. In addition I think around 8 ME262 still exist around the world.

@@flxdrv5020 I agree, but that's debatable.
@@MausOfTheHouse what? that's not debatable,literaly from wikipedia "The first patent for using a gas turbine to power an aircraft was filed in 1921 by Frenchman Maxime Guillaume.[8] His engine was an axial-flow turbojet." also my bad i meant french not british
@D2RG6 no because because compressor at the time (1921) weren't sofiscated enough, but allied forces knew what the fuck a jet engine was. don't act like the germans invented it and the allies were cleuless about it. it's true that the germans were the first to make a jet fighter, but the british and americans knew what it was and were also working on it. 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.

I've always thought it's Ho-229, al least that's what Wikipedia says, and Il-2 Sturmovik 1946
Yenchey The prototypes were called Horton H IX. The
German Air Ministry (Reichsluftfahrtministerium) gave it the code name 8-299 and the inventors of the plane (Horton brothers) called it Horton Ho 229. But the plane never left prototype status so it never got an official name I guess :)
Thanks for explaining it
After all these years, every war machines made by all the WW2 participants still puts most if not all of in awe. And I think that is beautiful :)
We see and admire the popular ie surviving working aircraft, esp movie worthy ones,

@Luke Wilson Man, you really got some serious half knowlege here... The swastika is a symbol used in cultures all over the world. Also swastika is the indian name. 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. It's very, very old...
@Luke Wilson aryan and swastika was also used in europa so not really stealing. Also a few indians fought on germanys side.
@Luke Wilson well the INA in the asian theater had around 100k soldiers which is quit a bunch. For the european Theater it were only around 3k.

The British built the Meteor first. But the Germans got their plane operational first.
@Clorox Tree the Meteor flew. It just was not used operationally. The British were not that desperate. So they didn't need to use everything they had. Allies stuck with more conventional platforms.

Shark was its German nickname. Der Haifische.
It's German model name was Das Schwalbe...The Swallow.
So true. I've never seen any plane looking so much like a shark.
@@deckdeckard5297
It was even more "sharkish looking " before they removed the dragging tail wheel and made it into a tricycle landing gear.
It's problem was the lack of high temperature metals for the turbine.
Engines had to come out service after only a very few flying hours .
@@MauriatOttolink Well, I did not even know the Me 262 had been first built with a conventional landing gear. Thanks for the info.
Like the Ho 229, or the Tiger tank, it looked `right`. Sometimes you can trust aesthetics.
With the minor issue that the plane was no use as a fighter - interceptor, but not a fighter. It was no good at maneuvering, and could not be throttled up or down. Pilots of the lumbering Wellington bomber were advised to turn sharp left if under attack by the Me262. Yes, a heavy bomber could play turns with this 'fighter' plane.
Aesthetics should be taught a school ! - My / Our old tutor would contstantly tell us at college
Back in the late 1970s
Not sure about that. It kind of looks like a bottom feeding fish with wings.
@@pashakdescilly7517 No, a Wellington cant outturn a Me262. 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
I loved the Kalinin K-7s and K-12s. Couple of my favorite experimental german bombers.
Amazing sound of the Me262 from 70+ years ago.
this isnt the original engine
+florianweiss007 only suicidal pilots will fligh with the original engines...they was extremly unreliable and the TBO only 25 hours (in the best cases), but most , they explode before...
25 fly hours are correct, but in this short amount of thime there were reliable.
they just required good pilotage
No, not sound from 70 years ago at all, #501244 is a replica Me-262 built in 2006 with GE J-85 engines that were first designed in the late 50's, these are probably refurbished units that were built in the late 80's.

@@bruhmoment9573 if they don't blow up first, it was literally a flying bomb.....
Still to this day a beautiful plane, The Schwalbe is still a great design.
My dad trained as a pilot on this plane but he eventually got sick, and had to leave the school. That might have been the best thing that could happen as not many ME262 pilots survived.
They never survived because it was near the end of the war, so they were very out numbered by the allies. But if this plane was invented at the beginning of the war, then it would be a whole different story.
@@robichj Most of the Me262 pilots died as a result of problems with the plane. It was dangerous like the Me-163 Komet

@@speelangs7161 it wasn't. The German jet engines were prototypes which needed rebuilding every few hours. British engines were slower entering operational service but were vastly more reliable.

Fly it? Are you insane? Not only would the pilot be risking his life, he would be risking the destruction of an irreplaceable piece of history, at present there are only three me-262s in existence that can fly, although all of them are equipped with updated engines for safety reasons. As a great man once said, "it belongs in a museum!"
Agreed. Fly it ffs!
@@micfail2 It was properly restored and is a flying example. Plenty of P-51's and Spitfire's around that are 100% airworthy and regularly flown.
@@barryaiello3127 part of its restoration was replacing the engines with more modern recreation versions so that it would not be a life-ending experience to ignite the engines. look it up. That doesn't change the fact that it is one of only three examples of that aircraft in the entire world that is capable of flying, actually flying it would be incredibly irresponsible and short-sighted. It belongs in a museum, not in the sky. There are hundreds of examples of operational p-51s and spitfires, many of them privately owned. In fact, Harrison Ford crash landed one on a golf course. A historical aircraft that we have hundreds or thousands of operational examples of is one thing. A historical aircraft which we only have three operational examples of in the entire world is a totally different story. Lifting that aircraft off the runway would be a crime of epic proportions, nearly as bad as isis demolishing ancient Persian ruins. I guess we should not expect Germans to understand that, they are too obsessed with their guilt to have even a basic understanding of the historical value of artifacts.
Such a beautiful work of art

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was way ahead of its time. This was a project designed/created for the future -- back then. Amazing.

These are beautiful fighters!
Well, I think it's a little misleading to say "original sound"... This aircraft is a replica, powered by a pair of General Electric CJ610 engines, so the sound is probably different that the original Junkers Jumo 004 engines. The old engines were far too unreliable for it to make any sense to use them today.
Really? WTF? Misleading? How about the historical significance? This is an awesome video and what better example to teach our present generation about WW2 aviation.
It was of course, primitive technology and had it been applied earlier, could have changed world history.
So get of the "knit-pick" and see it for what it is...damn!
Depends on what defines a 'replica'. I would say more a reproduction. IIRC the project to build the small batch of 262s was so authentic in construction etc (only changes made to aircraft were safety/reglatory changes like deleting the front wheel brake) that the Messerschmitt foundation gave them approval to use airframe 'werk'/serial numbers that continued on from the last wartime airframe produced. They were even given their own 'c' designation that referred to the GE J85 engine used.

Yes, it is misleading to say "original sound".
soaringtractor yes they did!

So graceful and modern sounding.

Itimidating to see and hear. Many an Allied pilot probably s$%t in their pants after seeing what this thing could do. After being confused seeing no props. Still too little too late for the Germans. They needed to have delayed the war for another two years, build up their more conventional weapons and further perfected wonder weapons like this (and make more of them).
Still to me the most beautiful Jet Fighter of the 1940s.

Heute ist es immer noch sagenhaft... Man kann wirklich nur staunen!
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.
You do realise these aren't Jumo's. What you hear is 2 General Electric CJ610's starting up.

I agree. Very aerodynamic looking. The main body section is not unlike a fishing lure to my eyes. Had to cut through the air quite smoothly!?
Actually that's where they got the idea from for the design of the body, was a sharks body
It was nicknamed the Schwalbe which is German for Swallow, personally I think the name Sturmvogel sums it up perfectly..Storm Bird.

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!
Should be able to compare the sound of a Jumo soon, unless there are unforseen problems. Here is a rebuilt Jumo, with some upgrades to the alloys: facebook.com/video.php?v=10152841379843666&set=vb.13883518665&type=2&theater
FiveCentsPlease really thank you very much! I'm very curious to hear the real sound of the Jumo engine!
FiveCentsPlease just saw the link! Very exciting! But I can hear that there is still some problems beyond the Reidler starter that making some racket! It is probably a question of adjusting here and there but nevertheless those guys did a hell of a good job!
***** I understand some german and I know that it was called "Schwalbe" but it is a semi-official name!
Amazing! Реально круто! Живая история.
a truly beautiful aircraft
Love the design of the Me 262!
beautiful aircraft

+The Aviator yes?
Shark.
Omfg so quiet ?! NO WAY !! This is just amazing ...
Miles ahead of everything as usual for the brilliant German engineering!
Hell yeah and now incapable of engineering a new german jet fighter.
Actually it wasn't that advanced. The Allies had their own Jets in development and, had Germany not pushed out a literal prototype that needed more testing, the Allies might have had their Jets out first.
The 262 was pretty shit. Too little and too late. Most of the engines weren't built yet, they were horrendously unreliable and 2/3 of the pilots weren't even trained fully with it.
Bootiful looking fighter!
Damn. HISTORY that needs to shared with the world.
German engineering has always been incredible.
Not really. I had a BMW and it was a piece of shit
@@stripervince1 YUP. The incredibility is g o n e - sadly. Look at Great Britain as example. Once leading in almost e v e r y t h i n g and now take a look today, how sad: Only the "city of London" and these crude, fxckxng money-shyte bizzyness . . .WHAT a d e c l i n e . . .Germany now too like BMW as you mentioned!
👍
YES!
GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬
Those same engineers became NASA in Operation Paperclip.
@@AL_THOMAS_777 How is British engineering not still incredible? Also whats wrong with the Germans?
what you think Pakistan is the new wonderchild? Who even comes close to these nations?
If you say Russia or China you are sadly beyond saving.
Russia cant even produce computer parts, China is catching up but at this point they can produce a chip roughly matching what the West could produce 10 years ago.
Computers are everything in modern warfare.
It's all fun and games until the pilot murmurs "hail hydra" before taking off
Einfach ein wunderschönes Gerät, bedrohlich aber auch elegant
When I was a kid, the Me 262 was the first jet I built from an Airfix kit. The twin under wing jet design and light grey and dark green dappled camouflage scheme, really caught my imagination. Still looks and sounds pretty impressive!
Just beautiful!

Brillant und schön 👍🇩🇪
The engines are not original, the original engines had two cycle piston starting engines with pull cords mounted in the front of the engines.
thanks you, I was wondering where the hell the pull starts were.
they put in more modern engines because they wanted to save the original engines, also, gen 1 Jet engines took along time to spin up and spin down so it whould be harder to take of and land with the original engines. so they chose more modern and more powerfull engines. kinda shame but i can understand them.
Plus original motors only last 50 hours
and for pilots own life, that old engines are not to be trusted, and you need to remeber when they were produced, its kinda old stuff now... :)
They didn't have original engines to save. This is a modern reproduction, one of five finished decade or so ago under the auspices of the Me-262 Project.
OMG!!!!looks and sounds amazing!!!!
Hell yes!!!!
That was freakin AWESOME!!!! Why folks thumbed this down is beyond my understanding.
I have to say that this is an incredible machine.
A buddy of mine has a collie with 4 dark dots on her nose that looks just like the gun ports on the ME 262 so I call her my Luftwaffe girl and she seems to like that.
How does she smell?
@@AndrewTubbiolo like jet fuel and Volkswagen 😌
Like crayons
@@Tugboatpb lol
We had a running Jumo 004 engine at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, back in the late 1960's. I guarantee that you've never heard a turbine engine running and producing anything like the very strange sound of a 004. Nothing at all like the sound of a modern turbine engine.
Did it sound like Polka?
its not the real engine, its a new modern one
So, how does it sound? More of a whosh than high pitch modern whine?
@@nicholaspatton5590 It sounded like "Deutschland uber alles" in stereo
I was there In Miami at Embry Riddle 1962 when we got the engine running.
Magnificent to hear!
An amazing leap forward.
