Junkers Ju 287 Junkers Ju 287 was a revolutionary German experimental jet bomber of World War II, famously known as the world’s first multi-engine jet aircraft to feature forward-swept wings. Key Technical Features Forward-Swept Wings: Designed by Hans Wocke to provide exceptional lift at low speeds and high maneuverability, which helped compensate for the slow acceleration of early jet engines during takeoff. "Franken-jet" Construction: To speed up development, the first prototype (Ju 287 V1) w

The Junkers Jumo 004 was both the first operational turbojet engine and the first operationally to employ axial as opposed to centrifugal flow. The engine equipped both the Me 262 and the Arado Ar 234. #warbirds #ww2 #ww2history #me262 #ar234 | Daniel J Wheatcroft
