By 1946, the U.S. Army Air Forces was developing jet-powered fighters, and had no need for a new piston-powered fighter aircraft.

The higher speeds of jet-powered fighter aircraft meant that achieving an effective number of hits would be extremely difficult without a much higher volume of fire.

Instead, the RAF directed their attention towards jet-powered fighters, and the MB 5 remained unordered.

The Northrop F-89 Scorpion was an early American jet-powered fighter aircraft designed from the outset as an all-weather interceptor.

His proposal for a jet-powered fighter was rejected by the Air Ministry in 1934, whereupon he raised a small sum and started a company, Power Jets Ltd., to prove the concept.

From the outset, the company invested in research and development and embarked on an ambitious design program with a jet engine and a jet-powered fighter and airliner on the drawing boards.

With the evolution of longer-range, jet-powered fighters such as the de Havilland Vampire, de Havilland Venom and Gloster Meteor, the Hornet became obsolescent fairly quickly.

It was one of the primary American fighters used during the Korean War and was the only jet-powered fighter ever deployed by the Royal Canadian Navy, serving the RCN from 1955 until 1962.

The Germans began design work on jet engines prior to World War II and succeeded in 1944 with the creation of the Messerschmitt ME-262 Schwalbe "Swallow," the world's first jet-powered fighter aircraft.

The Focke-Wulf Ta 183 Huckebein was a design for a jet-powered fighter aircraft intended as the successor to the Messerschmitt Me 262 and other day fighters in Luftwaffe service during World War II.

In the late 1940s, the Dutch aircraft manufacturer, Fokker, realising that the increasing use of jet-powered fighters meant that existing piston-engined advanced trainers had insufficient performance, started design of a jet-engined advanced trainer, the S.14 Machtrainer.

"Under his guidance, North American Aviation broke technological barriers; produced propeller- and jet-powered fighters and bombers, military trainers, rocket engines, and rocket-powered aircraft; and began its role as the prime spacecraft contractor for the country's Apollo program.

In America's First Jet Fighter, the series examines the Lockheed L-133, the first attempt by an American company to build a jet-powered fighter, begun in 1939 by Lockheed but later cancelled due to lack of interest.

Messerschmitt Me 262 - The world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft, and one of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II, the Me 262 also saw use in a variety of other roles, including light bomber and reconnaissance.

In 1944, in collaboration with Tank and his design team, Multhopp was assigned to a research project to meet and exceed the specifications of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM)'s Emergency Fighter Competition for a single-seat jet-powered fighter intended for performance at high-altitude.
