It was not designed to be a prop plane,piston engine is used just to test the airframe in air because jet engines were unavailable at the moment.

The Messerschmidt Bf 162 was a twin engine prop driven bomber design.
It looked nothing like this.
The prototype design was in competition with the Ju88 and did not go into production.

The first prototype Me 262 airframe was finished well before it's jet engines. BMW had numerous problems with this novel form of propulsion. For this reason, the prototype made it's first flight on 18 April 1941 with a conventional Junkers Jumo 210 G piston engine mounted in the nose. By November 1941, the BMW 003 engines were ready for installation into the 262 airframe. On 25 March 1942, an Me 262 prototype took off under the power of a Jumo 210 piston engine and two of the jet engines. The inclusion of the piston engine proved to be a wise decision considering that shortly after take-off, both jet engines failed one after the other due to compressor blade failures, leaving the pilot, Fritz Wendel, to land the aircraft solely under the power of the 'old' propeller.

Perhaps it's a typo and should be ME-262 (Prop Version)

Perhaps its a joke...?
It'd be interesting to try flying the hybrid version (ie. three engined)
