Me-163B, Me-262B-1a/U1

[Chaser]

Hi guys.
A few days ago i bought one book, in that book i found these two strange planes:Me-163B Comet-1 and the other one is Me-262B-1a/U1,
it said in the book that these two planes were "extraordinary" in one way or another in the German Air Force.
Now, my question is: Is there anyone who heard about these two planes,
if anyone did hear about them please reply.

P.S
I will send pics of these two planes as soon as i will be able to.

The Me 163 and Me 262 were both very advanced for thier time.

The Me163 was a rocket powered interceptor.

While the Me-262B-1a/U1 was an interim night fighter. The 262 B-1 was the two seat trainning version of the 262 and the /U1 was the modification to the nighter fighter role. the Me-262B-1a/U1 was designed to fill the night fighter role untill a purpose built me 262 night fighter could be brought into serive.

our book "Moskito-jagd über Deutschland will cover the service career of the Me 262B-1a/U1 in 10./NJG 11.

first voice. i didn't knew that there was two-seated me262.

and, yes, it was magnificent aircraft, an revolution in aircraft history. nobody did so much for weapon technologyas germans did in ww2, accept americans with a-bomb, but it was anyway done with german "brains".

chester: you've just discovered me163 and me262, but what will u say when you'll se an lippisch dm1 and heinkel he162?

[rusty]

here are some pictures for u chester...

heinkel 162 one of first fsw (forward swept wing) technology aircraft wit jet engine. i think that junkers build also fsw plane years ago before he162

I don't think that a 162 ever flew with a forward-sweep wing. Maybe I'm wrong but I think, although there were designs for these aircraft (in other types as well), they never flew. In fact, experimental designs in the U.S. based on this concept have never worked out...too much "torque" twisting of the wing or whatever.
The only 162's (built) that I know of had a straight leading-edge design; not even swept-back.

Wait, I correct myself...the Ju-287. OK, not successful.

Thank you guy for the info, especially to Rusty for "Discovering" for me the 2 planes...

Hello Sven,
My original response was regarding a 162 with forward-sweep wings. I have never seen a picture of a flying one. Certainly there were plans and designs (as I said) but did one actually fly? I don't think so.

I'll take another, closer look. Thanks for the info!
Tom

later...I don't yet find the photos you refer to. I saw the drawings and what appears to be a model with swept-forward wings but nothing in the air. Maybe I'm just dense. Are you sure that you aren't refering to the straight leading-edge versions?? Please redirect me to the correct photographs.

Euu. rusty...on the first link of the He-162 I see a lot of pics, but not one with FORWARD swept wins flying...

And the second is only 2 pics...or am I blind

If that is the Salmander; they all had forward sweep.
