The Messerschmitt Me262 "Swallow" was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. It was officially named "Swallow" and the Allies called it the “Storm bird”. The Me262 had a negligible impact on the course of WWII. Its design was highly influential on postwar aircraft development. Plans were first flight-tested in 1941 and in April 1944 they entered into service. In the end, slightly over 1400 Me262s of all versions were produced.
