What kind of price we're taliking about? Compared to what?

That Junkers jet in aforementioned comment of mine.

Ta-183 had entered wind tunnel...but that simple Junkers jet data is not available.

Post-War, were there any RAF pilots that flew both the Meteor and 262 and left written comparisons?

You can read extract from Brown's book in the following post filed with ramblings:

I am not exactly sure what you are rambling about.
I referred to a broader argument about the Me 262's performance and the speed record of a Meteor on November 7, 1945, of over 600 mph in level flight.

You obviously switched on the TikTok brain, read a couple of broken phrases here and there, and then lost it.
Please educate me on what happened to the great Jumo engine after WWII, who operated it, and then provide a list of companies, aircraft, and nations that chose Whittle's engine in the following decade or so.
....

Well, the speed record is a one-off. it's the same as saying...

Otherwise, the Ta-183 is looking good but i'd rather propose the following airplane as the ultimate german jet: Me-1112

Einführung / Introduction | MeP1112

Eric Brown definitely flew Me262s. He had a very high opinion of it. He also flew Gloster Meteors, de Havilland Vampires, and a Bell P59. Meteors in particular, got very much faster after the war.

Weren't the germans suffering of skilled pilots...I recall some Voksjäger pilots had just passed glider flights in some cases....just kids.
