Me 262 of JG 7, Breaking the Barrier

Me 262 max speed was 570 mph. Speed of sound...767 mph.

Me 262 max speed was 570 mph. Speed of sound...767 mph.

That's an illustration, not a real picture. That plane would break apart at 767 mph.

So....why would someone go to all the trouble to draw such a realistic picture of an aircraft that can't do what is pictured?

Btw I knew it was a drawing. One, you can tell. Two, it was breaking the barrier.

I like to think that is "falling really fast " and that is how it got to speed

Yeah, NO
Chuck Yeager was first to go MACH, right here in my backyard...as a matter of fact, almost exactly over head of my Home.
On October 14, 1947

It'd be lucky on ideal conditions to go 540
And, they used a lot of fuel

You know Pops?
I have come up with a new saying to your signature....
"I took the road less travelled and guess what, I died a slow death, I reluctantly made a mistake as I noew...sit here damaged and dying...know why no one took this path/road"
