The Me 262 Project is a company formed to build flyable reproductions of the Messerschmitt Me 262, the world's first operational jet fighter. The project was started with the Texas Airplane Factory and administered by Classic Fighter Industries. It is based at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, near Seattle. The project team of designers, engineers and technicians recently completed the flight test program and delivery of the first of five jets.[1]

The aircraft are powered by General Electric CJ610 turbojet engines, concealed inside detailed castings of the original Junkers Jumo 004B engines.[2]
