SAS is jointly owned by Sweden and Denmark governments (around 14.5% each) rest is private ownership...

Heinkel He 280 V3 (GJ+CB). The He 280 was the world's first jet fighter, its first powered flight was on 30.3.1941. With a speed of 512mph and armed with 3 20mm or 30mm cannons, this aircraft could have been in service a year before the Me 262. Indifference and interference by Ernst Udet and Erhard Milch, NOT GÖRING, cost Germany dearly and only nine pre-production units were made. This particular craft first flew on 5.7.42, and what was left of it was captured in May '45 in Austria

Twin contra rotating props a neat replacement for a tail rotor. Why didn't it catch on? Too unstable?

Weight and complexity at least on early designs.

The aircraft was known as the Golden Arrow, partly in reference to its color, the distinctive three-lobed cowling of the 'broad-arrow' Napier Lion engine. It was a racing seaplane developed as a contestant for the 1929 Schneider Trophy by the Gloster Aircraft Company.
