Description
First flew as a glider on the, 1 of March 1944. The Horton known as the first flying wing, was meant to be an all around fighter and bomber. But in truth it never saw action, don't get me but this plane is an interesting design, which lead to the Americans after the war to build there versions which lead to the B2 stealth bomber which we have today.If you like more information on this plane i put a link here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_H…
This is a 3d model created by R Publishing

I can definitely see one of my characters flying one of these painted in the Blue-White-and-Red!

There's actually two privately owned Ho229's in service with the Free People's Air Force (The Montserratian Air Force.) that belong to two of Montserrat's ghostly citizens, the Gremlin brothers Tillamook and Arago; both from Oregon State, and both expert pilots. Special Note: Don't forget to credit me when using my characters so that the mentions system notifies me; and any aircraft piloted by my characters must display the FPAF Markings (Which are similar to the USAF Markings except the star is white with a red border and another maroon star in the center, and the stripes on the outer side are Blue-White-and-Red.

This plane was only a concept, only one flew and it was only a glide.

I noticed many other films use this plane a lot, it is a brilliant design.
I notice it gets used more then the other jet plane that really flew the Messerschmitt Me262

Oh yes I know about that,

Also if you think about it, I think this plane is a perfect Replacement to Mega's 43, which is too advanced for this era, and alot more faster then the Arcor-41.

Actually, much like the Germans and English were creating jet engines independently of each other, the Germans and an American by the name of Jack Northrop were developing the flying wing independently of each other. Jack Northrop developed the XP-56 Black Bullet which was, in essence a flying wing. He also developed the XB-35, the first known flying wing bomber in the early 1940s. The XB-35, a propeller driven a/c, was later re-developed into the YB-49, a jet engine flying wing bomber. There are videos, on YouTube I believe, of each of these a/c in flight. Unfortunately, the Ho-229 never actually flew. Oh, and the idea of a flying wing is well over 100 years old. The Wright Flyer, the first documented heavier than air aircraft, was, in essence, a flying wing. All it was was a biplane with control surfaces in front of the wings. Nothing more. The pilot sat in a hole in the middle of the lower wing. As you may have come to realize from my previous posts on your artwork, I'm an a/c aficionado, especially WW2 and post-war era a/c. LOL.

Thank you for this information. If i need help i will contact you!
Plus is it true did Germany ever created a fully working Saucer aircraft?

A fully working saucer a/c? I don't believe so. I do know that they were experimenting with such a craft, at least according to some TV shows I've seen. I also know that the Vought aircraft company developed an experimental saucer shaped fighter. It was called the F5U Flying Flapjack. You should Google it. You'd be amazed at the shape of this a/c.

It's too bad the American military, and our government, have an aversion to unusual technology. I'm actually surprised that we built and used the space shuttle. After all, a reusable space craft? Why, that's unheard of! LOL.

Well technology evolves over time and the shuttle program was also part military.

That be true, yes. I just wish that sometimes we were on the forefront of new technology and accept it, although I must admit that computers (as we now know them) and the internet were new technology that our military and government glommed onto right quick like.
