History of jet fighter aircraft

Sponsored Post

The first jet fighter aircraft was the Messerschmitt Me 262 built by the Germans. Although based on a 1939 prototype, technical problems and the pilots' lack of skill in this type of aircraft forced their first flight to be delayed until 1942. Their first combat missions did not arrive until 1944, but it was already too late to avoid Hitler's defeat.

Jet planes have revolutionized aeronautics and have exceeded all limits in terms of speed, power, radius of action and attack capacity. They are among the most amazing machines ever created and are currently the most effective weapons in the history of military technology.
