The Messerschmitt Me 263 Scholle, meaning Plaice, was a rocket-powered fighter aircraft developed from the Me 163 Komet towards the end of the Second World War. Three prototypes were built but never flown under their own power, because the rapidly worsening military situation in Germany prevented completion of the test programme. The specification gives a single Walter HWK 109-509C-3 liquid-propellant rocket engine of 19.61 kN thrust, an empty mass of 2,210 kg and a maximum speed of 950 km/h.
