Description
By The End Of World War Ii, The Brothers Reimar And Walter Horten Were Two Of The Best-Known Designers Of Flying Wing Aircraft In Germany. They Brought Their Experience In This Field Into A Special Unit Which, As Sonderkommando 9, Was Responsible For The Development Of Tailless All-Wing Aircraft. The Development Of The Machine Known As The Horten Ho Ix, Equipped With Two Bmw 003A-1 Jet Engines Began In 1942. Whereas The First Machines Could Only Be Made As Gliders Due To Difficulties With The Jet Engine, The Second Prototype Received A Jumo 004B-1 Engine. In 1944 The V2 Made Its First Flight Reaching Speeds Of Over 780 Km/H. The Production Of The Horten Was Transferred To The Gothaer Waggonfabrik And The Designation Was Changed To The Go 229. The First Machine From The Gothaer Waggonfabrik, The Go 229 A-O V3 Received A Jumo 004-C Engine.
