  • Aircraft classified as first generation jet fighters are the first attempts at creation of military aircraft using jet engines. A few were developed during the closing days of World War II but saw very limited combat operations. The generation can be split into two broad groups: World War II era fighters such as the Me 262 and the Meteor and mature first generation fighters such as the F-86 used in the Korean War.

abstract
  • Aircraft classified as first generation jet fighters are the first attempts at creation of military aircraft using jet engines. A few were developed during the closing days of World War II but saw very limited combat operations. The generation can be split into two broad groups: World War II era fighters such as the Me 262 and the Meteor and mature first generation fighters such as the F-86 used in the Korean War. The "generations" of fighter aircraft are a relatively modern concept based on claims for "Fifth Generation" . They are rough categories based on similar designs and do not correspond to a rigid definition.
