Design work started before World War II began, but engine problems prevented the aircraft from attaining operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. Compared with Allied fighters of its day, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor, it was much faster and better armed. One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II, the Me 262 was used in a variety of roles, including light bomber, reconnaissance and even experimental night fighter versions. Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied kills (although higher claims are sometimes made). The Allies countered its potential effectiveness in the air by attacking the aircraft on the ground and while taking off or landing. Engine reliability problems and attacks by Allied forces on fuel supplies during the deteriorating late-war situation also reduced the effectiveness of the aircraft as a fighting force. In the end, the Me 262 had a negligible impact on the course of the war as a result of its late introduction and the consequently small numbers that were deployed in operational service. Me 262 A-0: Pre-production aircraft fitted with two Jumo 004B turbojet engines, 23 built. Me 262 A-1a "Schwalbe": Primary production version, usable as both fighter (interceptor) and fighter-bomber. Me 262 A-1a/R1: Equipped with provisions for R4M air-to-air rockets Me 262 A-1a/U1: Single prototype with a total of six nose mounted guns, two 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons, two 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 103 cannons, and two 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 cannons. Me 262 A-1a/U2: Single prototype with FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2 90 MHz radar transceiver and Hirschgeweih antenna array, for trials as a night-fighter. Me 262 A-1a/U3: Reconnaissance version modified in small numbers, with Reihenbilder RB 20/30 cameras mounted in the nose (sometimes one RB 20/20 and one RB 75/30). Some retained one 30 mm (1.18 in) cannon, but most were unarmed. Me 262 A-1a/U4: Bomber destroyer version, two prototypes with an adapted 50 mm (2 in) MK 214 (or BK-5) anti-tank gun in nose. Me 262 A-1a/U5: Heavy jet fighter with six 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108s in the nose Me 262 A-1b: As A-1a but powered with BMW 003 engines. Few were built, two are known to have existed at experimental establishments; maximum speed of 800 km/h (500 mph). Me 262 A-2a "Sturmvogel": Definitive bomber version retaining only the two lower 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108s. Me 262 A-2a/U1: Single prototype with advanced bombsight. Me 262 A-2a/U2: Two prototypes with glazed nose for accommodating a bombardier. Me 262 A-3a: Proposed ground-attack version. Me 262 A-4a: Reconnaissance version. Me 262 A-5a: Definitive reconnaissance version used in small numbers at end of the war. Me 262 B-1a: Two-seat trainer. Me 262 B-1a/U1: Me 262 B-1a trainers converted into provisional night fighters, FuG 218 Neptun radar with Hirschgeweih antenna array. Me 262 B-2: Proposed night fighter version with stretched fuselage. Me 262 C-1a: Single prototype [made from Me 262A Werknummer 130 186] of rocket-boosted interceptor (Heimatsch�tzer I) with Walter HWK 109-509 rocket in tail, first flown with combined jet/rocket power on 27 February 1945. Me 262 C-2b: Single prototype [made from Me 262A Werknummer 170 074] of rocket-boosted interceptor (Heimatsch�tzer II) with two BMW 003R "combined" powerplants (BMW 003 jet, with a single 1000 kg thrust BMW 718 rocket engine mounted atop the rear of each jet exhaust) for boosted thrust, only flown once with combined jet/rocket power on 26 March 1945. Me 262 C-3a: Never-completed concept design for a Heimatsch�tzer III prototype of rocket-boosted interceptor with Walter rocket motor in belly pack. Me 262 D-1: Proposed variant to carry Jagdfaust mortars. Me 262 E-1: Proposed variant based on A-1a/U4 with a Mk 114 cannon. Me 262 E-2: Proposed rocket-armed variant carrying up to 48 � R4M rockets. Me 262 S: Zero-series model for Me 262 A-1a Me 262 W: Provisional designation for Me 262 with pulse jet engines Avia S-92: Czech-built Me 262 A-1a (fighter) Avia CS-92: Czech-built Me 262 B-1a (fighter trainer, two seats) FREE scheduling, supersized images and templates.
