Hitler's Stealth Fighter

In the final months of World War II a jet powered flying wing made its first test flight from a remote airfield deep inside Nazi Germany. Generations ahead of its time, the Horten 229 had been designed to be a lethal fighter-bomber and more importantly, virtually undetectable to Allied radar. Had Reimar and Walter Horten designed the worlds first stealth fighter? Hitler's Stealth Fighter goes behind the scenes with an elite group of aerospace engineers and stealth experts from Northrop Grumman as they build a full-scale model of the sinister bat wing fighter. Once complete, go where cameras have never been allowed as the stealth's Northrop team test the Nazi fighters capability at their remote Tejon Radar Range. After decades of debate and speculation the mystery of the Horten 229s stealth capability is finally put to rest.

So: the B-2 = improved version of the Ho-229

@LottoWinner999 ... sadly you've gone primitive again; i point out the term "stealth" is provided by amerikans; you should eat some oranges, or have a doctor check you out.

@leerman22 Yes! And if a German didn't find the BluePrint of this huge technical boost we never ever would know :) thx to Project Paperclip! it is huge what the USA did, their make us Germans bad but on the other hand their are only this big becuz their stole our HighTech ... 75years later all Blueprints are done--- USA is sucky again! ready for ww3 ?

@Kyle1911 The German Culture got raped by Jews, Christianity, free mason and some other Lobby's.. Yes, i'm talking around 14.00-18.00 where Womens got burned becuz of witchcraft... What this old Womens did was preying to a Germanic god nothing more!

THAT WAS THE REAL GERMAN CULTURE!

Dont get me wrong i dont wanna start a fight but most ppl dont knew it ...

indeed German engineers for the win!

@oXbOxr00X half of the stuff that got invented in the usa was invented by germans living in the usa ^^

@Dutchdragonblade

Partly. Jack Northrop did a lot more in the way of R&D regarding the B-2 than what we took from the Horton Brother's design. We had working flying wing designs by 1945, but lacked the necessary flight control systems to properly use the pure flying wing design, as it is inherently unstable.

why does eveyone forget jack northrups flying wing projects during ww2

@wolvenblacktalon1 I hate Nazi Zombies!!!! hey rbo they're Nazi Zombies, not Nazi anymore ok? (:

More proof that Germany's culture has continued to produce some of the most brilliant engineers in the world.
