this is not a multiple choice test ACE...the Germans were working on some cutting edge tech before the end of the war, the Americans Russians and British could accept this why cant you? 2 years after the mig 9 came the mig15 , 4 years after the f80 came the f86 , 6 years after the vampire came the Hawker hunter all of this in peace time..why? because the swept wing was a leap not a step in terms of fighter development.
4 years after the 262 would have been..183? P.1101?..another design? the same year the 262 made its first flight the work had started on the ta183. and in terms of resources giving 10 engines and materials to make 5 prototypes will not change the course of a war...evolve or die.
