Both are reaction engines, and that's usually enough for this kind of categorisation, as rocket and jet engines are both subcategories of reaction engines.

The FH Phantom and FJ-1 Fury also some some limited operational service prior to 1950 before being relegated to training roles.

for the Me 163 and the Me 262, id recommend watching @HardThrasher 's videos on it as it goes into significant detail on the program

Very nice viedeo im looking forward to the 50´s and paticularly the 60´s keep up the good work! And a question did you have a typo with the meteor ? As to my Knowledge they were only used against v1 not 2 as well ... balisctic trojectory, but if you diden t could you please give me your source as this paticular story would seems quite interesting.

"no wheels" This is actually completely irrelevant as it had no negative impact on the Me-163 what so ever. The plane was designed to land on its belly and it worked, not perfectly perhaps, but it was not what made it function poorly. "cheap as possible" There's actually some merit to that. In particular, the jet engine cost something like 1/2 to 1/3 of what a highend piston engine would cost(and actually required much LESS of the more important strategic raw materials), and with the engine making up by far the single biggest part of the cost of an airplane, the Me-162 if it had time to be developed more properly could have provided an almost ridiculously cheap fighter with the performance of a top-end prop-fighter. The concept was surprisingly realistic at least in theory, the tech development level was just not quite at the point where it could support such a thing. Another 2 years of development and it might very well have been a good fighter. "1st actual good" Nope, the Me-262 for all it's flaws was still superior to the Meteor. The Meteor was a vastly more FUNCTIONAL aircraft than the Me-262, that i will agree with. Put 100 on each side in an air to air fight until one side is gone and you will probably have around 30 -262s left at the end. In realworld conditions, sure, there the Meteor was better as they were easier to handle, both by pilots and by groundcrew, meaning that in any realistic situation, more Meteors would always be ready to fly and the risks during landing and the like would be clearly less. But most of that was lack of development and purely as a fighter, the -262 was a good deal better. "ground fire" Yeah sure... Excuses if there ever was one. Also, it's worth mentioning that the P-80 was a BAD PLANE overall. Against MiG-15? It's just not a viable opposition or even close to it. They might have gotten the first jet to jet airkill by getting REALLY lucky, but the records strongly suggests otherwise. While the P-80 unquestionably WAS lost when and roughly where it was claimed as a kill. The P-80 was so bad that there was talk about directly copying the Me-262 with a pair of modern engines slapped on. Or even to buy a production license for the Meteor. "didn't have their own jet program" Correction, USSR absolutely DID have their own jet program, earlier than USA in fact. But the war pretty much ruined any chance of it getting anywhere as it was effectively almost completely shut down in 1941 and not brought back to life until 1944(maaaaybe 1943?). IIRC, the original study of jet engines started in 1939(1938?) as a sidetrack from the extensive Soviet development of rocketry due to the 1930s craze about recoilless weapons. But by 1941 they had nothing finished beyond some mockups to test design layouts. Lyulka, Tumansky and Mikulin are mentioned as involved, but it's pretty much impossible to find out more. Without WWII, USSR would likely have produced a domestic jet engine in 1942 or 1943. The later Lyulka TR-1 was based on this research and there was a Tumansky/Mikulin paper only design sometime during the war. Anyone's guess how it would have performed. "copies" The Soviet version of the BMW-003 were actually improved after the 2nd iteration of them. So, no longer copies but upgrades. "positive trade with MiG-15" That is highly disputed and there's been several very extensive studies attempted on this subject. And you have to use creative accounting to get any major advantage in killratio to the Sabre(and there's been LOTS of people doing that MANY times unfortunately, the 10 to 1 you mention isn't even remotely close to the most exaggerated one, IIRC, that one claimed 38 to 1 or something). The best neutral study i've seen suggested that the killratio was somewhere between 1.1 and 1.4 to the Sabre's advantage. But the Sabres had vastly better support and generally much better trained pilots, so that is NOT really a positive trade. It's also notable that the study also showed that if only looking at experienced Soviet pilots, the killratio instantly flip-flopped over to something well over 2 to 1 in the MiG-15s advantage. Overall, this suggests that plane vs plane, the MiG-15 had a tiny little edge. But it's probably close enough that pilot skill, luck and other support was more important. "used British RR engines" Uh, no no and lolnope NO? The RD-45 was not an exact copy of the Nene because USSR did not have access to the exact materials used for it, and they also had to make several other changes to adapt the engine so that it wouldn't just fail during a normal Soviet winter or require British fuel and lubricants. And they were most definitely not BRITISH engines when they were manufactured in USSR. Later the engine was further redeveloped into the better VK-1, once USSR had developed more suitable metal alloys, but the VK-1 veered even further from the original Nene than the R-45, so it is also in absolutely no way a straight copy.

Curious to see how the Me-262 was superior to the Meteor, considering all its flaws as it seemed better in particular circumstances rather than as an overall package.

@@markgrehan3726 The superior aerodynamics made up for pretty much everything else. Well that and the firepower which is just absurd level. Try the 262 in a flightsim and you will quickly notice. Pretty much anything is destroyed with a halfsecond burst. And that is actually UNDERSTATING the effect of the -262s guns in reality. Give the -262 better engines and fix all the stuff the engineers didn't have time to fix and it would have done well against pretty much any jet up until mid 50s. Because its aerodynamics was pretty much 10-15 years ahead of its time

@@DIREWOLFx75 So if you sorted out all its numerous issues it would be pretty good, lol. the only reason its wings were the way they were was because they needed adjusting so the engines wouldn't throw off the center of gravity. It was a fast plane at a certain height but that's about it.
