The article mentioned the Me-262. Is there actually a flying ME-262 somewhere? (And do they really used the old Jumo-004 engines?)
Check the link in post #9, re: ME-262.
(I don’t know if the engines actually used are exact replicas
of the originals)
No. Using GE J-85/CJ-610. Very significantly lighter and about 1,000 more pounds of thrust per engine. Repro ME-262 is expected to have better performance than the original because of this. Here’s a link:
