Me 163 Komet (Video & feature) - the world's first roket fighter plane

The Me 163 Komet was perhaps the most unique aircraft design of the Second World War. German scientists, always on the cutting edge of evolving war technology, developed a rocket-powered aircraft based on testing completed with an engine-less glider design. The resulting research produced the one-man, swept back fighter that was equally dangerous to pilot and Allied bomber formations alike.

I have posted something on the Komet a few year ago. Please click on the link below to get the see the full write-up as well as a video.
