Ho-229 Flying Wing Fighter/Bomber

The Horten Ho 229 was a German flying-wing jet project developed during the Second World War. A powered prototype flew, and further work involved Gotha, but the war ended before the design could become an operational fighter-bomber. Its unusual wing and absence of a conventional tail made it a notable experimental aircraft. The surviving unfinished airframe has made the project unusually visible in museums and later reconstruction work. That artifact documents construction, but does not establish combat readiness or validate every modern claim made about the intended finished aircraft. Its surviving unfinished prototype became an important museum artifact, preserving evidence of the construction methods used in Germany’s wartime flying-wing development.
