ITS ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE
AT THE SHOWS AND THIS KOMET FITS THE BILL !
NO INFO ON HER YET IM AFRAID,
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, designed by Alexander Lippisch, was a German rocket-powered fighter aircraft. It is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational. Its design was revolutionary, and had performance unrivaled at the time. German test pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph), an unofficial flight airspeed record unmatched by turbojet-powered aircraft for almost a decade. Over 300 aircraft were built, but the Komet proved ineffective in its dedicated role as an interceptor aircraft and was responsible for the destruction of only about nine Allied aircraft. (Sixteen air victories for 10 losses, according to other sources.)
