The Me262 is neck and neck with the F86

Agreed.

To me, one of the things that make it so elegant is the triangular shaped
fuselage.

I have always wondered why the triangular shaped fuselage has never been
used on
any other fighter aircraft.


Now that is something I'd always recognized, but never
articulated it in that comparative context.

A darned good poser! I'll have to start looking everything
over in my stash more closely to see if anything comes close.
