I suspect that either would have succumbed to aerodynamic, structural, and general development problems without contributing anything. If we postulate early availability of a jet engine, then we can have the P-80.


Besides, American jets were not needed to counter the German jets when the latter appeared. P-51s, P-47s, and P-38s had the range and numbers to blanket German airfields and catch Me262s trying to take off and land.
