Although the HE162 was a beautiful plane, I still wish that the BV entry won the bid. I would have been nice to see this plane in action.

They are all interesting project and provided a step in aviation technology. None were practical for war. That included the Heinkel 162 as well as the Me 262 and the Arado 234. All suffered from reliability, durability , lack of training for ground and flight crew. All were rushed to service without regards and full of desperation.
Many of them did morph into other planes post WW2 and that is the main reason I like them. All the What if were never what ifs in the Luftwaffe.
