Could also be the Me-163, He-163, Ar-234 and a few others

The Me 163 was a sidetrack which was probably only an influence in the sense that it proved that rocket engined interceptors was a sidetrack, and bloody dangerous to their pilots. The He 162 was just a piece of crap.

But the Ar 234 is an interesting aircraft. Far too few of them were made to name it amongst the most influental aircraft of WWII, but the few that Allied forces encountered certainly made an impression. It would be strange if it had no influence at all on any post-war design.

Influental means that it has influence on design of aircraft in the future right???

Me-163...forerunner of the Space Shuttle

Ar-234 forerunner of almost every bomber of nowadays

He-162 was crap (i must admit) but even though it led the way to single engined jet fighters like the Sabre and Mig-15 (altough i then would have to say Ta-183 wich is the real forfather of the Mig-15).
