Messerschmitt ME-262A Schwalbe (German: Swallow) is a German double-engine hunter-bombardian aircraft with metal structure in low-wing configuration. ME-262 was the first war jet in the history of aviation. The first flight with piston engines took place in 1941 and on July 18, 1942 with Turbojet engines. The first design of the aircraft body, called p.1065, was presented in 1939 and surprisingly different from the latest version. It was quickly decided to use the oblique wings and tested the aircraft body during the flight with piston motors (JUMO210), which was successfully completed in 1941.
