Which country was first to fly a military jet prototype?

It is true that Germany'e Me. 262 was in fact the first operational military jet aircraft. But what nation flew the first pure turbojet aircraft? Seems a number of nations were in fact working on such a plane in the late 30's and very early 40's.Which country was first to fly a military jet prototype?Germany, in 1939. Great Britain didn't get one in the air until 1941, even though they'd started jet engine research first.Which country was first to fly a military jet prototype?
Germany the jet was a Hienkle 280 giving the info to japan japan had a jet fighter operational 1 week before their surrender. britian flew some jets but they were testing still at the end of the war and had none in combatWhich country was first to fly a military jet prototype?Germany. And the model was the Heinkel He 178.



(The turbojet was in fact invented in Britain by Frank Whittle, but the Germans were the first to actually fly an airplane equipped with a jet engine.)Which country was first to fly a military jet prototype?
Germany for sure / there were jets in combat but they did not produce enough to make any real difference in the war / the date I will debate however - I had to research this for another project and the first test flight of a jet powered aircraft was over the black forest in 1936 it was a secret test and there are very few notes about it (and while I have those notes still I do not have the source cited in my notes) the publicly acknowledged test was in 1939.



Germany also had the first production, fully functional, Helicopter.. designs and test planes for; Stealth Aircraft (Carbon Composite jet), Delta Wings (B1 type bombers), Blackbird type ramjets to deliver atomic bombs (Amerika Bomber - Virus House), folding wing aircraft, and most other if not all modern aircraft on their drawing boards.Which country was first to fly a military jet prototype?The others did answer the question, but....



The ME-262 was not the first operational jet fighter. The British Meteor flew operational missions sooner. The ME-262 flew before the Meteor, but Hitler wanted to turn the plane into a bomber, and this delayed its combat debut by well over a year.



The British plane flew in combat a couple of months before the 262 against the V1 Buzz bombs.Which country was first to fly a military jet prototype?
Actually, both Germany, and England came up with the jet engine almost simultaneously. (may be a bit of espionage there). Germany was the first to use jets in an operational aircraft. The 262 did'nt have much success though. The stall speed for the 262 was close to the maximum speed for a prop driven fighter. The jet was'nt good at staying in a dogfight, as it'd force the pilot to either stall, or overshoot his opponent. They had to adopt a mid-air "strafing" tactic .
Germany had the first real jet,the Heinkel 178,in 1939.The first jet fighter prototype,the Heinkel 280,in 1941,and the first operational jet fighter,the Messerschmitt 262,which first flew with a propeller in 1942,and as a jet in 1943,becoming operational with a test squadron in summer 1944,but Britian's Gloster Meteor was close,becoming operational within weeks of the 262.
