	Messerschmitt Bf-109 - The Air Combat Wiki
		Willy Messerschmitt's masterpiece, the Bf-109, was the prototypical modern fighter at the beginning of the war and was still going strong at war's end six years later.
		The compression ratio was raised to 7.3 on the port side and 7.5:1 on the starboard side cylinders and the maximum rpm was raised to 2800.
		The fuselages with their DB 601E engines were unchanged apart from the addition of a lower keel member to support the main landing gear legs, which were moved to the centerline and designed to extend to a more vertical configuration.

	Messerschmitt ME 109
		The Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter was flown by many of the top scoring Luftwaffe fighter pilots during WW II.
		The Messerschmitt model that bore the brunt of the Battle of Britain was the Bf 109E.
		In all an estimated total of 35,000 ME 109's were produced (including those built outside of Germany) by the end of WW II, making the Bf 109 the most numerous fighter of that conflict.

	The Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe / Sturmvogel
		Willi Messerschmitt kept on lobbying to produce both the Me-209 and the Me-262, partly it seems as an exercise in bureaucratic empire-building, and it wasn't until November 1943 that the Me-209 was dropped for good.
		Messerschmitt answered without hesitation that the Me-262 had been designed from the outset to carry 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) of bombs, could possibly carry twice as much, and would be easy to adapt to the "Jabo" role.
		Messerschmitt was straining to keep up with demands for production of existing aircraft types, a difficulty that had been compounded by a devastating Allied air raid on the company's plant at Regensburg on 17 August 1943.

	Messerschmitt BF-109
		Because the company was renamed to Messerschmitt after July 1938, when Erhard Milch finally allowed Willy Messerschmitt to ac- quire the company, some late-war aircraft (almost ex- clusively those built or rebuilt by the Erla Flugzeugwerke) actually carried the name "Me 109", in an apparently er- roneous designation stamped onto their aircraft type plates.
		Me 109 is known to have been the name used in print by the Luftwaffe propaganda publications as well as by the Messerschmitt company itself after July 1938, and the Luftwaffe personnel, who pronounced it may hundert-neun.
		Me 109 pronounced emm ee one oh nine was the contemporary English interpretation of the des- ignation.

	Messerschmitt (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Messerschmitt is a famous German aircraft manufacturer, known primarily for their World War II fighter aircraft, notably the Bf 109 and Me 262.
		Messerschmitt AG was incorporated as a separate company on July 11 1938, with Willy Messerschmitt as chairman and managing director.
		Messerschmitt had its share of poor designs as well, the Me 210, designed as a follow-on to the 110, was a disaster that almost led to the forced dissolution of the company.

		Messerschmitt and his staff worked frantically to ensure that the remaining five Bf-108As were qualified without mishaps.
		Messerschmitt, having faith in his design and knowing that Milch expected him to fail, decided to push on with the fighter.
		It looked frail compared to the heavier aircraft they were used to; they were uncomfortable with the fully enclosed cockpit, which was cramped in any case; they were unhappy with the aircraft's high wing loading; and didn't like the steep ground angle, which restricted their forward view on take-off.

		Several schemes were proposed by the Messerschmitt design bureau to extend the range of the Me 264, including towing one Me 264 by another to altitude, in flight refueling by a second Me 264, adding two more engines bringing the total to six and using take-off rocket pods for overload takeoff conditions.
		A general skepticism was creeping in concerning the numerous delays in getting the first Me 264 in the air, and again the consensus from the RLM and General Staff of the Luftwaffe was leaning towards the Junkers Ju 290 and the six engined Ju 390.
		According to Messerschmitt, the components for the first five prototypes were completed, but he lacked the necessary space and facilities in which to construct them.

		During the summer of 1944, the Messerschmitt Me P.1102 series was being developing at the same time as the Me P.1101 project.
		Three jet engines powered the Me P.1102, two were located beneath the fuselage nose and one was located in the tail (an air intake on the top of the rear fuselage fed this turbojet).
		All Messerschmitt documentation was seized by the US and was used in the development of several aircraft, possibly including the Martin XB-51.

	WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
		Plans for the Me 210 to replace the Bf 110 were all but abandoned by late 1941 when the Me 210 was still pronounced to be totally unsuitable for operational units.
		With the 210's stability issue improved, the Me 410 was a solid performer, and through many variants, gave the Luftwaffe a formidable heavy bomber interceptor, and ground attack platform.
		While the Me 410 scored a considerable amount of daytime bomber kills, it was still vulnerable to the latest single-engine Allied fighters.

		The Me 262 and the Meteor are illustrated in figures 11.1 and 11.2.
		(The first Me 262 had a conventional landing gear that was abandoned for several reasons, one of which was the runway damage caused by impingement of the hot engine exhaust.) Significant improvements in visibility and ease of ground handling are offered by the tricycle landing-gear arrangement.
		Follow-on Messerschmitt fighter aircraft, including one with about 40° of wing sweep, were being studied when termination of hostilities put an end to all German aircraft development.

		Messerschmitt was straining to keep up with demands for production of existing v7ndotcom types, a difficulty compounded by a devastating Allied air raid on the company's plant at Regensburg on 17 August 1943.
		By the end of the war, Messerschmitt was working on a prototype of the improved "Me-262B-2a" night fighter with a longer fuselage, increased fuel capacity, and most importantly "Berlin" centimetric radar, with improved range and resolutions and a dish hidden in the nose, instead of the clumsy and drag-inducing "antlers" of the long-wavelength radar.
		Development of the He-280 seemed to be going well, but further evaluation of the Me-262 demonstrated the superiority of the Messerschmitt v7ndotcom, and on 27 March 1943 the RLM ordered all further development of the He-280 as an operational type to be abandoned.

		For example, the Me 262 jet fighter was the best fighter plane to see air to air combat in WW II, but it became operational so late in the war that it had only a minimal impact.
		The Messerschmitt 109 fighter was flown by many of the top scoring Luftwaffe fighter pilots during WW II.
		The Messerschmitt model that bore the brunt of the subsequent Battle of Britain was the Bf 109E.

		The Messerschmitt fighter was in the United States because scientific and technical intelligence personnel put their lives on the line to obtain it and others in the field, make it flyable, and bring it home for testing.

		Early in WWII a request was made of the various manufacturers of the possibility of designing an aircraft that could fly to the US and back non-stop.
		A rather daunting proposal at the time, but designers love such things and responses were received from Focke Wulf with the FW-300 a modification of their planned airliner, Junkers with a modified Ju-290, and Messerschmitt with a brand new design, the Me-264.

		Despite the fact that the Me 262 is one of the most rare and esoteric aircraft of World War II, at least one group has endeavored to build brand new copies of this interesting airplane, updated to modern safety standards, and powered by more modern jet engines.
		It was evolved basically as a successor to the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, although the official view was that it would never be capable of matching the operational prowess of the Bf 109.
