77 years later it still looks futuristic!

[@yelleryoung5870]

What a wonderful aircraft.

[@gunterbreitfeld6421]

Das schwierigste ist da die Schränkung der Flügel, da es die Roll geschw. u.a. beeinflusst und hatten die Hortens nicht auch Störklappen eingebaut. Jedenfalls meisterhaft berechnet und nachgebaut. 👍

Imagine seeing one of those flying around during the war, you'd have thought aliens were invading.

[@rangermcq6802]

That was great! Thank you gentlemen.

[@kampfkater8503]

Ganz Klasse! Ich bewundere euch Modellbauer. Bei Modell-Flugtagen in Oberseifersdorf bin ich immer dabei!

[@neboskii8756]

It's cool how a plane can still be maneuverable with multipurpose ailerons only its just the controls are different and the internal systems are different

Tiny 1/12 scale England was looking very nervous when this took off.

Eh, it wasn’t enough to stop the 1/12 scale Russian army so doesn’t matter anyway.

Incredible how advanced Germany was with aircraft designs during WW2, decades ahead of any other country.

[@themechbuilder6171]

indeed

[@bobmetcalfe9640]

Not so much in engine design though.

[@themechbuilder6171]

@@bobmetcalfe9640 they had JET ENGINES! no one had those right?

[@bobmetcalfe9640]

@@themechbuilder6171 Er ... In fact yes, the British and German jet engines were developed at roughly the same time, but the British jet engines were far more reliable than the German ones by 1945 anyway.The British had operational jet fighters, (The Gloster Meteor} but they were not allowed to fly over Germany in case they fell into German hands, although it wouldn't have mattered at that stage.

Luckily all these weapons came out too late in the war for the Nazis….Hitler put the cart ahead of the horse.

[@marienfeld07]

Beeindruckend und wunderbar, nur in Deutschland. Es sieht aus wie ein aktualisierter Jäger.

[@Bayan1905]

I would like to see a larger scale RC like this tested to see kind of radar signature it has, to see if it really was the first stealth aircraft.

[@atomicskull6405]

They don't need to computer modeling would do a much better job of that.

[@Murphy5-5]

Northrup Grumman did build a 1:1 dummy and actually tested the remains of the original prototype and it is infact much harder to detect by radar than any other plane from that era. I don't know the radar signature but they compared it to getting detected 2:30 minutes before reaching britain oposed to the 19 minutes of the actual planes that fought in the battle of britain

[@georgechristoforou991]

It wasn't stealth by design. It was only stealth by lack of metal to build planes at the end of the war.

[@Murphy5-5]

@@georgechristoforou991 Infact it was, they used carbon between the wood layers to refract the radar waves

[@TinyBearTim]

It was it had a smaller radar because it’s a flying wing

Gothaer Waggonfabrik was bombed twice in 1944 by the USAAF's 8th Air Force B-17s and B-24s. First in February 1944 and then again in July 1944. So after it was bombed back to the stone age where were the Ho 229's built? Evidence shows that the three prototypes were built in one of Dr.-Ing. SS General Hans Kammler's caves and that he canceled the entire Horten project on 17 March 1945. There was never a Gotha Go 229. Check it out.

[@porterfred]

Hi David, Thank you for your comment. I belive the same that the GO229 was never a project name of this plane. But many documentation name the Horten IX as GO 229. This title are only because to have this name also in the youtube search string.

[@andik859]

Die Prototypen wurden in den Hallen der Göttinger Autobahnmeisterei gebaut.

[@valiantthori8245]

Yes David, we checked it out. After your heroic pilots made their excellent job bombing Germany - especially the centers of all german cities - "back to the stone age" there was nothing. Never. There were never the best tanks of the world, there were no Type 21 U-boats, never A9 up to A15 rockets, of course there was never an atomic bomb, no nuclear reactor, no flying discs, no gigantic underground-facilities where american soldiers never put even one step inside - until TODAY. And they never will. And so on.... Yes, dear american buddy David, all that NEVER happened. - Last notice: Ho IX and Go 229 means the same warplane. Check it out. The next Horten-plane they worked at was the Ho 18 AMERICA-bomber. Lucky United States. This of course never happened too.

marcysiek schönes Flugzeug, aber Krieg ist ein Verbrechen. Übrigens, wenn der Krieg etwas länger gedauert hätte, wären die Atombomben hier runtergekommen.

[@sachse_855]

Ney ney das haben die Nazis damals 1945 schon gehabt. Die scheiß Amy haben es nur kopiert. Wäre dieses Flugzeug in Serie gegangen hätten die Nazis eine Megawaffe gegen die Engländer gehabt. Es war auch in Plan noch ein größeren Typen zu bauen und ihn mit Atombomben zu bestücken die über New York abgeworfen hätte können. Also nix Amerikabomber. Diese Pisser können nur kopieren mehr nicht.

[@Marco187Polo]

Deutscher Patriot Die Horten 18, eine größere Version der Horten 9 wurde Amerikanomber genannt, weil der Amerika bombardieren sollte. Deswegen hieß er Amerikabomber und nicht weil die Amis Nurflügler-Bomber haben.

@@in1213 tja, siehst Du, und hätten wir die Horten 3 Jahre früher gehabt hätte sich kein Amibomber mehr hergetraut, aber was soll die Diskussion?
