+@red94mr28 The Smithsonian stored it in a wooden crate without climate control (possibly outside some) from the 1950s until the 1970s when it was moved into storage at Garber. That's why the wood structure has turned to powder from fungus rot.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

@@red94mr28 Let me clarify this for you. This is from a research study of the aircraft and the preservation. From "Technical Study of the Bat Wing Ship (The Horten Ho 229 V3)", authors Lauren Horelick, Malcolm Collum, Peter McElhinney, Anna Weiss, Russell Lee, and Odile Madden from The American Institute for Conservation of History and Artistic Works, 2014. Note this passage: "The National Air Museum (as NASM was called then) acquired the Horten in 1952 when there was a shortage of storage facilities. Consequently, it sat outdoors in wooden crates from 1952 until 1974, and that is where most of its condition issues originate. Extensive plywood veneer delamination, material loss, biological growth, and coating delamination are evident throughout the aircraft. The metal components are corroded, fasteners have failed, and numerous small parts are missing."

Great documentary

[@chucknorris6640]

American are crying that this plane wasn’t a stealth fighter and that the ho-229 didn’t inspire the B-2, watch the hole documentary, the Northrop engineers that worked on the B-2 admitted during the documentary that the 229 was indeed the first stealth fighter and an inspiration for the B-2

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+ @Chuck Norris The 229 was never designed to avoid radar detection and it wasn't a fighter. The Horten brothers were prototyping a bomber using tailless aircraft theories from the 1920s and 1930s, which were low drag, fuel efficiency, and speed.

[@chickenpurple6704]

[@roxximusik8958]

Rather than being designed with a low radar signature, I've always assumed that the Germans were running low on aluminium and skilled fabricators. And of course, on locations to build them. But hell - they led the world.

[@chumleywarner7245]

t says here that it never flew over the USA , checkout Kenneth Arnold sighting 1947

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+ chumley warner The V3 never flew at all. It was incomplete when it was found in the Gotha factory and the wings were 75 miles away. The US gave it to the British to study over the summer of 1945 and there was some discussion of attempting flight from both the British and the Americans but it did not fly. Northrop had their own flying wing designs and it is likely that Arnold spotted a test flight.

[@chumleywarner7245]

@@FiveCentsPlease Well all I can say is the drawing looks nothing like a Northrop wing non of his had that classic tail.

[@roxximusik8958]

@@FiveCentsPlease The similarity in silhouette struck me too, but I believe that Arnold claimed to have seen five or more crescent-shaped craft flying in formation. Their trajectory wasn't regular either. I very much doubt that either Northrop or the US Army Air Force of the time would have had so many trustworthy prototypes. 👽

[@hughjohnson2674]

The engines were last suppoded between 20 and 30 hours they were lucky to get 10, same with the 266. Useless, as a realistic combat aircraft. The Mosquito also had a low Radar reflective capability. An interesting aircraft, but the Horten was totally impractical.

[@errornamenotfound2513]

Dafaq? Ho229 wasn't a stealth plane at all.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+ Error: Name Not Found Correct, it was not.

[@mske903]

it had stealth features, because it was made of wood. but also the coating, to some extent, showed stealth features. so the constructors indeed wanted to make the Ho229 a stealth jet fighter. the biggest problem for the german Luftwaffe, especially during the Battle over Britain, was not the british planes but their more advanced Radar system. so it made sense, to experiment on something new to counter this problem.

@@FiveCentsPlease Agreed BUT the Northop was Piston- powered, whereas the Horten was jet-powered. A huge difference in performance. Check out the KZbin video the mock-up of the Horten that was built by the Northrop-Grumann skunk works. They tested the Horten's stealth capabilities.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

@@christianguenther1276 The Horten brothers started with piston and glider versions too. They should get credit for flying a wing with jet engines first and for the aerodynamic and flight control experiments. Stealth wasn't their motive, more coincidental and wishful thinking years later. Flying wing theories were speed and fuel efficiency, not avoiding radar. Northrop's work was slowed down by sub-contractor infighting and because it was a much larger design. And his work unfortunately cut short by politics and money by the first Sec. of the new Air Force.
