You will be hard pressed to see any aspects of the Me 262 designs being used in post war FIGHTERS.
Remeber, you were asking for any 262 design?

Quote:
3 design points?
Errr, yes, obvious as you had already mentioned one - engine in pods.

Plus jet engines, plus swept wing, makes indeed 3.

However you asked for those only that are still in todays designs, and thats two, jet engine and swept wing.

So here we go again:
3 in total minus 1 not in current designs anymore equals 2 still in current designs.

That's the 2 I mentioned.

3-1=2

Does that make sense to you?
Just read what I wrote. You asked for those that were still around.
I can't add the third one in the list.

As noted the swept wings of the Me262 were to correct the cg
As you noted to outer wing sweep was introduced for the CoG. Anything about inner wing sweep, additional research done while the plane was developed, flight tests, etc is stubbornly denied by you.
You just put your head in the sand.

So maybe you missed the part where I was talking about the Me262 being a dead end design
No it wasn't. Just because one aspect of this plane is not found anymore in more modern fighter does not mean it was a dead end.

That's just plain silly.

Because every pane will be a dead end sooner or later then.
Like the F-86.

Know of any plane of recent design that has engine intake at the front of the fuselage?
Nope, so dead end design.
On top of that they put those outdated 0.50 caliber on that plane. A fighter plane with 0.50 cal guns in 47, imagine, what a dead end design!

Two wings and a prop, dead end design as no more fighter of today have it:

Have seen any shoulder wings on a new fighter design lately? No?
So this is another dead end:

And one day the stealth drone will turn all manned combat planes into dead end designs.

Boy, this is getting really silly.
