The size feels confusing, it looks way bigger then what the engines would tell

Thanks for the observation. Keep in mind that there is no real detailed schematics of this prototype, so i only go by what i can get off the internet. However you are correct, but I think I made the cockpit too ample, it should only sit two pilot very tightly in there. I will be remodeling with aircraft in detail sometime soon.

Well, if you look at History, and you look how the US entered WWII, they got their ass kicked at sea, air, and land. Why? After WWI the US decided to take a rest and F*&^ everyones problem. In turn they were left behind in Technology. We were just fine making refrigerators and enjoying life. Meanwhile Britain and Germany were way far ahead of the US and Russia. It wasn't till the Brits decided to give the Americans some of their technology that gave us the advantage. Mind you, Germany took on the US, Brits and Russian and they were still kicking their ass. But thank God, Hiltler was so crazy, he thought he knew more than his Generals and began F*&^ing things up. But it was the freaking Aliens gave all technology to the Germans so it seemed. LOL, we were just happy with the clunky prop planes.

Heisenburg was totally confused on the amount of uranium that it would take to build an atom bomb. Even if the war would have lasted yet another year, he thought it would take 13 tone of 235U for the desired weapon. Add to this, the 229 would have required a long take off field which wouln't exist with the allied bombings. Germany would have required a much more robust air defence although the Horton 18 would not have done well being made of phywood. If the Me 235s could have have been massed produced underground and their airfields protected, perhas they could have reduced the bombing. Germany was running out of experienced pilots for this type of mission, even Rudel, and hartman turned down this assignment. That being said, the Nazi defeat at Kursk doomed this regieme from the two of three years of further war they needed to attack New York, London, and Washington.

RedLuckOG this would have been a cool aircraft. People will say this would have never flown because it would take lots of computer power to keep it in the air. I think they don’t know what they are talking about. Beside, mr. Horten designed a lot of tailless air craft in Argentina and all flew with no problems.

No Horten Ho 229 or 18a in Germany either. Gotha did fly the small experimental aircraft that crashed on it's third flight and Gotha started to make another experimental aircraft they never got as far as any production aircraft. Just as no Horten design got far in Argentina.

As long as they put a realistic version up against real aircraft from the 1950's, that is about when it might have been in action if the war lasted long enough. The design was for a plane that could fly 1,000 km. it would barely get to London.

The Ho 229 is what you are thinking of, a potential qualifier for Hermann Göring's 1000x3 project (1000 km/h, 1000 km range, 1000 kg payload). The Ho 18 was a proposed "Amerikabomber" and would have been significantly larger, with the range to fly bombing raids from Europe to the United States. The Nazi Ministry of Aviation even had plans to use the bomber to nuke cities along the east coast of the US, fortunately the war ended before this.
@barrierodliffe41556 жыл бұрын
The Ho 229 never existed except on paper, Gotha took over and they made a small experimental version which was a failure and then they started work on another experimental version but it was never even close to being finished. The war ended about ten years before either the Amerika bomber or the German nuclear bomb was likely to be around.

The Germans would have had a very good go at building this thing, had it not been for simple fate. Had the Germans perfected all-wing fuselages and turbojets by, say, 1942, they might have gone all out to build hundreds of Ho 18s. But that moment actually came in mid 1944, and by that point what was left of Germany's dwindling resources were all being poured into Type XXI subs, jet fighters and new tanks. Attacking America with conventional bombs was also pointless.
@GuabanaFilmworks6 жыл бұрын
ProjectFlashlight612 , I agree. The jet engine was fairly new and in predictable. However as much as they think this flying wing would have made it to American shores, I seriously doubt that. Maybe it could have flown to Russia and delivered a bomb to push back the Russians and then they could have focused on dealing with the US.

The Horten brothers never made more than a glider, they started work on a small experimental plane but it was taken over by Gotha and while it did just fly it was not a success then Gotha started work on another experimental plane. The Ho 18 was no more than a day dream.

H 18 was a paper project, no attempt was ever made to make it for several very good reasons. Mainly they had no suitable engines and the hortens never made a plane.

+General Guisan Quai The H-18 was an idea under discussion with several proposed versions. No construction was started. The closest the Horten brothers got to flying the 229 program was the V1 glider and V2 jet, both ending in crashes. The V3 from Gotha would have been impressive but it never left the ground.
@celairgilfaenmirion6 жыл бұрын
Not so, it was slated to enter production, and was primarily delayed due to political infighting and idiot bureaucrats at the Ministry of Aviation forcing the Horten's to collaborate on different design options with their competitors. Had the Horten's been left to their own devices, the HO 18 could have easily been completed by 1945 and nuclear armed by late 1945 to early 1946. We're just fortunate that the high-ranking Nazis were so viciously territorial in fighting for influence that many of these projects were indefinitely delayed.

Had the Hortens been left to their own devices the Small experimental aircraft that Gotha completed would most likely never have got off the ground, the pipe dream Ho 18 was only a vague idea on paper, and as likely to work as the German nuclear bomb which also never existed.

Excelent model. The only thing I think is wrong is that the Horten XVIII A was meant to have a jettsionable landing gear, rather than a retractable one. I will build a scale model of this aircraft, and, despiste the landing gear problem, it is the best model i've ever seen.
@GuabanaFilmworks7 жыл бұрын
Thanks, I had made this model off some images of the internet, didn't have much details. But it looked retractable from what it looked like, so I created the model that way. Have not worked on that model for years but I think I will remake a new one soon. Let me know how your scaled model is coming along, would love to see it. Good luck.
