Could the ME 262 be mass produced in time for D-Day and if so what impact would it have on the attack?
And the 262 wasn't exactly an engineering masterpiece. I think they had to replace the engines fairly regularly. Ten hours might be an exaggeration, but if you need more engines just to keep a single aircraft airborne then the obvious target for the 8th Air Force would be the jet engine plants.
The biggest problem facing the Me262 wasn't the failure to produce enough but leaving it too late. Considering the Germans barely flew the world's first jet aircraft in August 1939 there was no reason why the Germans could not have had Me262s deployed by, say, 1943 when it might've had a chance of being a real game changer.
Actually the Me 262 was a very good design, as was its intended powerplant: the Jumo 004A, which had a service life of 200, to 250 hours. Unfortunately for the Me 262, the 004A needed to be manufactured using high grade steels and by late 1944 the majority of such steel was allocated to U-boat production. The Jumo 004B engine, which most Me 262's were fitted with, was built with only 1/3 the high grade steel of the 004A. The result was regular compressor blade failures and an engine service life of between 10 and 25 hours; the flawed economy in having to replace engines using 1/3 the high grade steels ten times as quickly is obvious to anyone except the National Socialist's centralised planners.
If the Me 262 is given higher production priority, this would translate into Jumo 004A engines in the nacelles of fighters in operational squadrons - which means a significant service improvement.
even if they has solve that problem
Two of biggest problem for Me 262 was lack of Pilots and aircraft Fuel
And with allied bombers pounding Germany's airplane factories to dust <snip>

Same old stuff.
Me 262 for D Day
Tiger Tank enters mass production earlier
Invade Russia a month earlier
Type XXI U boat enters service earlier.
These have all been done to death but I guess this website would die without recycling.
Well, for 3 of those 4, you're right. But earlier Me 262's are not impossible, or even disagreeable, if Hitler and Goering don't interfere. .....
