Me262. Hmm, I thought that the critical discovery that made the Sound Barrier breakable was the all-flying tailplane, or stabilator for aerodynamic reasons that someone else will no doubt explain. I had understood that without this innovation control could not be maintained thru M1. The Me262 was not so equipped, was it?
Well it tore the airframe up if that helps.
