Another variation on the theme - what if the gas turbines still weren't quite there and the Luftwaffe went the route the Italians and Russians (and probably a few others as well) tried, that of thermojets:

You can't outrun Death forever.
But you can make the Bastard work for it.

A different approach to the Me 262 A-2a/U2:

Some I did a while ago: 

Turboprop version of the Me P.1099 (which was itself a derivative of the Me-262 - it utilised the wings and tail of the Me 262).  The plan is that this is would be a carrier based bomber, somewhat similar to the North American AJ Savage:



That one has occurred to me, too; including an AEW version with the rotary radar dome of the AR-234P on the upper fuselage.

Taken at Weimar Germany 12 May 45. American soldiers inspect Me 262 A-2a/U2 (W.Nr. 110 555)



The bomber second prototype (W.Nr. 110 555) was completed in January 1945 and featured a modified bombardier’s compartment – the Lotfekanzel II. The aircraft also received alternative designation Me 262 V11. The prototype first flew in February 1945 and by the end of March had completed 16 test sorties. The aircraft was lost on March 30, 1945 when it crashed during a forced landing attempt.

Re-colourised version of this:

What if the jets never quite made it - could the Me-262 have been put into service with piston engines?




I think blade tips will be damaged somehow. ;) 8) :o

Well, it isn't that much more insane than the XP-72 Ultrabolt, which had to use three-point take-off and landing so that the propeller would not hit the ground...  ;D

Pretty sure I've seen one somewhere, with the engines moved to the top of the wings?
