Horten Ho-XVIII B2 Bomber

The Horten Ho XVIII was an unrealized German long-range flying-wing bomber concept associated with the closing stages of the Second World War. Its different proposed configurations reflected attempts to combine flying-wing aerodynamics with jet propulsion and intercontinental ambitions. The B-series proposals remained unbuilt; no Ho XVIII bomber entered service. Claims of combat missions or demonstrated transatlantic performance would confuse design objectives with an unbuilt project. The proposal was distinct from the much smaller Ho 229, which reached powered prototype testing. Sharing a flying-wing lineage does not allow the bomber to inherit the smaller aircraft’s flight experience or any supposed operational record.
