Historical information:

The Me262 was the world's first jet fighter to enter operational service. Its development began in the 1930s, and the first flight took place in 1941. This aircraft was significantly faster and better armed than any other fighter of its time, making it an extremely formidable opponent. The HG III "V Tail" version was one of several projects aimed at further enhancing the performance of the Me262 by improving aerodynamics and incorporating modern design solutions. Although this project was never realized, its concepts influenced later aircraft designs.
