The Messerschmitt Me 263 Scholle (Plaice) was a rocket-powered fighter aircraft developed from the Me 163 Komet towards the end of World War II. Three prototypes were built but never flown under their own power as the rapidly deteriorating military situation in Germany prevented the completion of the test program. == History == Although the Me 163 had very short endurance, it had originally been even shorter.
