Este avión fue el segundo modelo de Me 262 construido, y el primero que llevo los turborreactores Junkers Jumo 109-004A-0, ya que el primer modelo llevó un motor a pistón Jumo 210G. El modelo V2 fue equipado con tres cañones Mk 108 de 30 mm, uno de ellos en la punta del morro, donde posteriormente iría instalada la foto-ametralladora. Otra particularidad de este modelo es que llevaba aún el tren de aterrizaje convencional, con rueda de dirección trasera.
This airplane was the second model of Me 262 built, and the first one that I take the turbojets Junkers Jumo 109-004A-0, since the first model took a motor to piston Jumo 210G. The pattern V2 was equipped with three canyons Mk 108 of 30 mm, one of them in the tip of the muzzle, where later on he/she would go installed the picture-machine gun. This model's particularity is that it still took the train of conventional landing, with wheel of back address.

Yo realice este avión basándome en una fotografía, y un breve comentario de algunos libros. Pero anoche, por casualidad, mirando el documental Armas de Guerra en The History Chanel, documental llamado Cuerpos de Elite; veo una filmación mostrando el 262V-2 despegando de una pista, y además confirman que este modelo participó en el JV-44 a comienzos de 1945.
Pronto trataré de colocar un fragmento de esta filmación en mi web.
I carry out this airplane basing me on a picture, and a brief comment of some books. But last night, by chance, looking at the documentary Weapons of War in The History Chanel, documentary called Bodies of Elite; I see a filming showing the 262V-2 taking off a hint, and they also confirm that this model participated in the JV-44 at the beginning of 1945.
Soon I will try to place a fragment of this filming in my web.

Gustavo, the V2 was only a prototype aircraft. It did not have any armament or bomb/rocket loadouts.IP: Logged |

The Me262 was originally designed in 1938! The axial-flow turbojets were planned to be ready by December 1939! Problems with blade failure, meant that by 1941, there were still no engines. The first prototype ended up flyign with the Jumo210G on 18 April 1941. The handling was good, despite the lack of power! First BMW 003 turbojets were delivered in November 1941, but they retained the piston engine. Just as well, since the jets blew on the first flight just after take-off. The pilot retained control, managed a circuit, and then set her down again. As a result, BMW engines were replaced by the Jumo004's. They were heavier, and less powerful, but at least they stayed together longer! First Jumo004 flights were on 18th July 1942. She was still a tail-dragger at this point, and apparantly, taking off was tricky! The elevators were ineffective in the tail-down position, and the pilot had to dab the brakes to swing the tail up into the airflow! This was not-on for production planes in cobat, so the 5th prototype got fitted with the tricycle landing gear. The nosewheel was initially non-retracting, but once the set-up was proven, a fully retracting set was designed and fitted. It got it's official demonstration to Hitler in November 1943, but due to problems with the engines, and airframe, it was far later that the planes got operationally ready!er....just a bit of history! Got a chance to look over a Jumo004 at Duxford a little while back....and it was an impressive piece of work. It made our early jet engines look very basic. Not only that, but so many apsects of it's design are still to be seen on modern jets. IP: Logged |

Hey good history! To be more specific about this type... The V2 didnt fly till October 2, 1942. The V3 flew in August 11, 1942 at Rechlin but crashed while under testing...IP: Logged |

Si, el V2 fue una versión de prototipo, del cual se hicieron por lo menos cuatro unidades para ensayos de motores y aerodinámica. Estos fueron luego abandonados, pero en 1945 se reacondicionaron, se les colocó armamento, y entraron en combate en la defensa de Berlín.
