Reply #23: Most technologically advanced?

[evworldeditor]

While the B-29 was a remarkable piece of technology for its time, I think the statement that it was the most technologically advanced ignores the fact that about the time it was being made operational, so was the Me-262 in Germany. If I were voting for most technologically advanced, I'd have to cast my vote for the Me-262 with its twin turbojet engines and more than 500 mph operational speed, at least 50% faster than the B-29.

The Germans had quite a number of exotic advanced aircraft concepts in various stages of development that were quantum leaps beyond the B-29, which was the technological end of the line for piston engine aircraft, the end of the line being the B-36.
