[Video] Me 262: Aircraft of the New Era

World War 2 pushed piston engine aircraft to their absolute limit, with engineers all around the world coming up with ingenious solutions to make them better in every conceivable way.

In order to get better results, you needed aircraft of a completely new type. That’s right: today we’re talking about the ways you can get the most out of the first ever operational jets of the Messerschmitt 262 family!
