I guess after 50 years, the aircraft had taken enough.

Luftwaffe’s newest invention 1944 were R4M rockets for Me 262

Those Orkan R4M rockets were deadly, a single rocket that weighed less than 10 pounds would bring down a four engined bomber. However, they didn't enter service until March 1945. They were formidable, but too little, and too late.

It's amazing how "basic", compared to today's, this "jet engine" was & that it worked.

I guess if I had a "favourite" German W.W.2 fighter, this would be it, so sleek and menacing looking.

Although Germany was noted for being the only country to put a rocket powered airplane into production and field use (the Me-163 Komet), the Soviet Union came close. Having nine prototypes built for the Mereznyak-Isayev BI-1 rocket fighter, with a first flight in 1942, they didn't get a proper rocket engine design done by the time it was realized that turbine jets were going to be the way of the future. It did show some promise however, with an engine below design specs giving it a speed of 419 mph. and a good climb rate of 16,300 feet per minute.

This was my favorite. It's not sleek, but was very menacing .....

Junker Ju-87 Stuka Dive Bomber: A World War II Terror Weapon

The Ju-87 was not without its flaws. And those flaws came back to haunt Stuka pilots and gunners in the Battle of Britain.
