HO 229

I don’t understand these videos because are y’all saying that they look modern like modern fighter jets or are y’all saying the look new like well maintained and shiy

HO229 :

F14 Tomcat:🤫🧏

I saw th B52 at sanicole this weekend

💀stratofortress is still in service

Who says that

lol those vids on the way to post your short

can you come today around 6? I might go

I noticed the pinned comment and I myself have made this mistake before. The bomber you may be thinking of is the Horten H.XVIII, also known as the Horten “Amerika Bomber” it was engineered for ultra wide ranges, the intended targets would obviously be major American cities such as New York, Washington DC, and more. It would have been designed to go up to 560 miles per hour, which at the time would have been impossible for a bomber. It would have had many mg turrets and several front facing armaments as well as being able to carry surprisingly only 8,000 pounds, which in theory is not that much compared to the much shorter ranged B-17 Super-fortresses which could carry about that. It was also armed with 6 junkets turbojet engines. Turbo jet engines are compact jet engines, for example the wing mounted ones on the Me262. Turbo jet engines being so compact of course didn’t leave much room for power, giving it a thrust to weight ratio of only 0.17. Too bad this beast would only have been brought to the very basic design stages. There were too many errors and not enough time, people, resources, and money left for the Germans to have developed this. Also, it was simply too hard to create.

Comanche 😎

Then there’s my favorite bomber: The B-1 Lamer. It’s close to 40-45 years old and looks pretty new. Also it can go supersonic unlike the BUFF and the dorito

even though the ho229 isn’t a bomber it’s crazy to think that the B-52 and the ho229 are 13 years apart

Is crazy how fast these countries got to work after ww2 seeing the germans fighter jets

Grandpa buff mentioned

That's not rare

ho229 is my favorite ww2 jet

HO 229 looks like b2 sprit those who think they are brother comment thick emoji 🎉🎉🎉

Horten?

Cuz they are modern.

F111, F14, what we’re y’all talking about, we got swept wings

The HO229 never saw combat and both models crashed

1930 to 1990s was the peak of technology

humans can rlly make a BIG difference between 11 years

The ho228 is not a bomber but I can see why you would think it was it looks like the b2 and b21

Aircraft name

The b52 is still in service i think, that probably makes it the longest lasting nuclear bomber we have.

B52 was made in 52, hence the name.

Ho 229 was a fighter, not a bomber.

The Horten HO-229 was from 1944 not 1942

HOB225 WAS 1945 💀💀💀💀💀

It wasn prototype finished in 1944 and wasent ever used, also it isnt a bomber its an jet fighter.

HO-229 never was used in combat do it doesn't counts as anything but a prototype.

Not bomber

B-52 stands for not bomber 52 big ugly fellow or the f word

People meat ride the Ho so much

The HO 229 was originally meant to be a bomber i mean look at its size how would that thing be a bomber I think the germans changed it for cost reasons

The HO 229 is not a bomber

Forgot one x15

Erm what the sigma the HO229 ain't no bomber T-T

The ho229 was actually made in 1944🤓☝️

229 a bomber ????

F-117: Hold my beer

The HO-229 was actually intended as a Bomber-Interceptor.

B-52 don’t look modern, Ho-229 not a bomber.

Ho 229 was made in 1944

Knowing the planes makes them feel old

1944-1955 tech is actually stunning how fast 11 years of time can change stuff
