Germany was ahead of its time in RADAR war due to Great Britain.
Haha, why would Germany make a TRIANGULAR design? Why not something like the BIGGEST BOMBER PLANE like usa was doing? Like those huge Fortress bombers with gun positions all over?
I will tell you why... "only in usa". Thats why...
@vincejap because they were not German. The German race is the most genius and brilliant! The most beautiful women and the hardest savage warriors. We are Aryans!
@wrathofvengance67 They were so much more genius and brilliant, They made the massive mistake of taking on the United States of America and thinking that they could win.
Here in America we have mixed races, and we won.
The Russians, as hitler called them, "Pigs", and the Pigs won.
Germany is turned to rubble, and hitler, who had women and children train to fight, Had committed suicide, while children fought. LOL
@TheDman601 The 229 flew during WW2 but didnt see service. A big reason for this was that the designated jet engines were not ready so they had to redesign the plane for a larger engine.
Every design has advantages and disadvantages and it is the purpose of tactics to exploit those disadvantages. You will notice that without a rudder for yaw control the video always showed the aircraft banking in flight. A conventional aircraft could evade the flying wing by steering with rudder only on level flight, a maneuver the flying wing cannot replicate. The short fuselage may also contribute to problems with pitch. I do give the Germans credit, thinking outside the box is a virtue.
@Zyworski Actually, you should do more research before you condemn a design lol. The Ho 229 had spoilers on either wing, enabling it to have a yaw action, otherwise it would be nearly impossible to land, or dogfight, the 229 would have most likely destroyed any piston powered allied aircraft in WW2.
@sniper133t It was not able to fight evidenced by the fact that the basic concept was never deployed as a fighter in a real life scenario to this day. The inboard and outboard spoiler system may have mitigated control deficiencies on the Ho-229, but did not eliminate them all together, on the other hand how hard would it have been to add a couple of small rudders?
@Zyworski Rudders would have spoiled its radar signature, which would have been the smallest of any aircraft of its time. On another note, the first Horton prototype crashed due to an engine failure, which was quite common with early jet engines. This delayed the release of the fighter long after it was expected, and by then Germany was slowly falling. And the HE-162 was a cheaper alternative.
@sniper133t I almost forgot to mention that the spoiler will cause a change in wing lift and cause the plane to bank anyhow. Notice at 2:08 in the video how the left outboard spoiler is deployed and true to form the left wing is lifted up. My original premiss that simple level flight maneuvering with the rudder is a tactic of a conventional plane that a Ho-229 cannot replicate.
@Zyworski It is easy to replicate that of a rudder with the Ho 229 or any flying wing aircraft. with a simple bank right with the stick while releasing the left spoiler, the craft will remain level due to the ailerons. While a spoiler does create more wind resistance, the aircraft's low profile makes up for it allowing it to yaw just as plainly as any old aircraft.
@whitey1304 The Ho 229/Go 229's two Junkers Jumo engines probably would've given off 2 small signatures. Like 2 birds flying together. Also, remember that radar during WWII wasn't as modern as the radar we have today. Heat signatures would be almost impossible to detect back then.
So... Enlighten me.... A wooden aircraft with METAL engines and a large heat signature... What makes it Stealth???? Even todays Stealths (F-117A and B-2) arent Stealth they give off the signature of a "Small flock of birds". And having witnessed a F-117A landing at Fairford in the 90's and being picked up by an RAF Regt Rapier Unit is hilarious...So many people ust ump to conculsions from a photo or a consipracy website (yawn)...
American engineers that had to do with modern Stealth-projects test the Stealth-properties of this plane and notice that the wood-coal dust-combo and the shaping reduce the radar cross section around 20% and in context with the technology of the WW2, that the Brits had available, and the speed of this plane (second prototype get 977 km/h) the Brits had just a warning time from 2,5 minutes. By far not enough to measure ...
What a wonderful invention, I love those superb german luftwaffe turbine jets. if they had the idea in ~1942/43 no one would have had a chance against those machines.
@ColdFreezer - the hortens had been working on this particular design since 1934. By 1942/43 there was nothing in the works that could have saved germany, unless the rest of the world sat back and gave them a decades rest...
0:37 The yellow plane shown is the Northrop N-1M, developed during 1939 in the US, first flight 1940. So, Jack Northrup started working on a flying wing design before the US entered WW2.
Mist all of those were Jack Northrup's designs at first. The, the Horton Brothers did come up with the Ho229 which was a real "stealthy first of a kind" These photo of the Northrup flying wing should not be intertwined with the Horton 229 and 18 models. The held their own. Also, the English invented the first Turbine Jet Engine, and the Italians flew a jet before the Me262 also. The Germans should have developed Radar BEFORE stealth. Radar undid the 3rd Reich. Both on land and sea.
@spanish111japan - No, the italian jet pre-dated the German one by years, the only issue is that the Italian jet required a seperate engine to power the compressor, so at best it is considered an early "hybrid" not a "true jet"...
This airplane was very advanced. I've studied it and built models of it as well. The only down side is that the single wing design needs computers to assist the pilot. It was a design far ahead of it's time.
@StormRisingOriginal not too sure about that old son,the Horton 229 seemed to fly quite well during testing in 1944..
the first prototype was lost when one of the Junkers Jumo jet engines "flamed out" and the pilot lost control and crashed..how ever the second prototype was found by the US Army ... it ended up beening test flown by the US Army Air Force and they where shocked by how good it was! it's now in the US in a dismantled state! sadly it will never fly again!
@grahamkeithtodd - not so much. The one flyable V3 succumbed to the yaw issues inherent in the flying wing and killed its test pilot, as you mention, after a total of 2 hours of flight. The 2nd V3 was never flown by the US Army, it was never completed, and still sits incomplete in a storage facility.
The V3 wasn't any more stable than any other flying wing, flying wings are instable, period, it is only computer assist that overcomes the yaw issue.
@OPE08 er the V-3 was the germans "rocket gun" old son...the emplacement was bombed quite a few times by the R.A.F's 617 SQD in 1943-1944,(the ruins are still their)sited in northen france it used a long barrell with chambers at the side to pump more propelent to make the projectil move faster along the barrel,(if you look a bit closely at the IRAQ "super gun" designed by the late Dr Gerald Bull you will see the resembalance!)
@grahamkeithtodd - sorry, I should have said the "HoIXv3". The aircraft that sits in storage is one of three HoIXv3's that were nearly completed. The only actual, full-sized, production prototypes made. One was completed but crashed after about two hours total flight time when an engine flamed out and worsened the yaw instability, it slewed sideways and cork-screwed in, killing its pilot. The 2nd was not completed and the third was nearly destroyed, neither ever flew as you claimed
I guess now everyone on here knows where the B-2 Spirit Bomber originated from.
