On display at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. It is thought this Komet was tested by Karl Voy of Klemm at Oranienburg in Dec. 1944. Likely captured by the US Army at Esperstedt with other Komets in 1945, it would have belonged to Ergänzungsjagdgeschwader 2 (EJG 2). It was one of five brought back to the USA for evaluation after the war and assigned the code FE-500.

This Komet got some repair at Freeman Field , IN after the war. Parts from two other Me-163s were used so the aircraft could be flight tested at Muroc Lake, CA (now Edwards AFB). Unpowered tow flights were made, but delamination of the wooden wings cancelled scheduled powered flights. The aircraft is displayed in unrestored condition after decades of storage.

The world's only operational rocket-powered interceptor, the unique Me 163 was the fastest aircraft of WW2. Its wheels dropped off after take-off, and on landing the aircraft would glide on a retractable skid. Seen here at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune.

This Komet was fortunately captured intact when Husum airfield in Schleswig-Holstein was overrun by Allied troops towards the end of WWII. It was transported to the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield in 1947 for evaluation and subsequently donated to the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune where it is now on display.

This Komet was delivered to JG/400 in 1945 but captured intact at Husum and sent to the UK for testing. It was shipped to Montreal as a war prize in 1946 and subsequently placed into storage in a number of different locations. It underwent restoration by staff from the Canada Aviation & Space Museum during 2000-2001 and is now on display wearing JG/400 markings once again.

The operational history of this Komet, on display in unrestored condition at the Udvar-Hazy Center, is unknown. It was one of five brought to the US after WWII for evaluation, receiving the foreign equipment code FE-500 that is still visible. Gliding tests were completed but powered tests were abandoned after delamination of the aircraft's wooden wings was discovered. It was then stored at Norton AFB until 1954 when it was transferred to the Smithsonian. Note the Walter rocket motor in the foreground
