That teacher should have herself been escorted by someone in the know!

I was with a group walking around the Imperial War Museum in the early seventies, before part of it moved to Duxford.

As we loitered around the Me163, one of them remarked that the tiny impellor on the nose (which actually drove an electric generator to back up the limited battery for the radio, Revi gunsight, cannon circuits and several other things) was an emergency propeller which powered the aircraft when the rocket fuel ran out.

I didn't even bother.

It was the Dev Rift, and not sure what the IPD was. You stood there, hands on the keys, then they centred it, like a TrackIR. I wont be getting one, not seeing my controls was a large downer, most people couldn't handle more than 30 seconds of using it before they wanted it off. Even after a minuet of using it it has lost it's centering.
