Me-163 Komet

 

Me-163 Komet, way ahead of its time, presented  how the aviation technology had developed during the WW2. It was rocket-powered, it didn't carry any undercarriage and it lacked proper range to fight.

Yet it was the fastest aircraft seen on the skies over Europe. Due to it having propelled by an unconvetional engine, it lost its power after depleting the special form of chemicals that the rocket engine uses to burn. After that, Me-163 became a simple glider, making it vulnarable to enemy fire until it glided down to the runway safely.
