- The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed Schwalbe (German: 'Swallow') in fighter versions, or Sturmvogel (German: 'Storm Bird') in fighter-bomber versions, was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before World War II began, but problems with engines, metallurgy and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster and more heavily armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor.One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II,the Me 262's roles included light bomber, reconnaissance and experimental night fighter versions.
