It was faster and more heavily armed than any Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor. Captured Me 262s were studied and flight-tested by the major powers, and ultimately influenced the designs of post-war aircraft such as the North American F-86 Sabre, MiG-15 and Boeing B-47 Stratojet. | Military Update | Facebook
