	Horten Gliders
		Reimar and Walter Horten intended to use prone sailplanes such as the NASM Horten II L as intermediate trainers.
		They hoped to smoothly transition pilots to higher performance Horten aircraft equipped with semi-prone cockpits such as the H IV and H VI sailplanes, and the jet-propelled Horten X. The Horten IIIf and the H VI V2 are the only aircraft in NASM collections configured for prone pilotage.
		The AAF repeatedly misidentified the aircraft as a Horten III in official photographs and documents.

	Horten Ho 229 V3
		The Horten IX design became the Horten Ho 229 aircraft program after Göring granted the project official status in 1943 and the technical office of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium assigned to it the design number 229.
		Horten was the technical officer for Jadgeschwader (fighter squadron) 26 stationed in France.
		Horten mounted elevons (control surfaces that combined the actions of elevators and ailerons) to the trailing edge and spoilers at the wingtips for controlling pitch and roll, and he installed drag rudders next to the spoilers to help control the wing about the yaw axis.

	Horten: two brothers, one wing.
		Another essential fact to keep in mind for the comprehension of the Horten brothers' work is to recall the importance that the glider and soaring played in the history of aviation.
		The Horten brothers would become the virtuosos of the flying wing, testing with stubbornness their machines without neither fuselage nor tail section in gliding flight before even thinking of adapting them with an engine.
		The Horten brothers did not wait for the arrival of the Americans, and as many of their compatriots, it is in Argentina that they would continue to develop their flying wing.

		Horten kommune kommer i år til å bruke mellom 60 og 80 millioner kroner mer enn de har.
		- Vi utfordrer nok politikerne ved å foreslå å bruke kraftfondet for å nedbetale gjelden i Horten kommune, sier Sundklakk.
		Det betyr at det for eksempel ikke blir bygget ny kino i Horten.

	ufo - UFOS at close sight: the german Horten planes
		HORTEN Ho I: At this time, Reimar was still in school and Walter in the military; all the construction and testing was done on their spare time and own funding.
		HORTEN Ho X: The Ho X was a high speed arrow shaped flying wing inspired by Busemann's statement in 1936 of the beneficial effect of sweepback on delay of the shock stall.
		The Horten Ho XI was an acrobatic glider of 8 meters span.

	More information about the WWII Horten Ho 229 Horten Flying Wing by Fiddlers Green
		As planned, the unpowered Horten Ho 229 V1 was towed into the air at Gottingen by an He 45 on March 1,1944, with Lt. Heinz Scheidhauer at the controls.
		As one of the Horten brothers later recalled, this was the first flight of one of their designs under jet power.
		Horten, with his elder brother, Reimar, had been working for about ten years on the development of all-wing aircraft, building several successful gliders to test his theories.

	Flying Wings : An Anthology : Reimar and Walter Horten
		It stemmed from the belief of the brothers Walter and Reimar Horten that a flying wing was the most efficient form of heavier than-air flying machine.
		Reimar and Walter Horten tested their first piloted nurflugel (only-wing) sailplane in 1933, while they were still in their teens.
		A restored Horten sailplane is on display at Planes of Fame in Chino, California, which also owns a Northrop N-9M, a technology demonstrator roughly the size of the Ho 299, but much less sophisticated.

	Horten Ho 229 Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Horten Ho 229 (often erroneously called Gotha Go 229 due to the identity of the chosen manufacturer of the aircraft) was a late-World War II prototype flying wing fighter/bomber, designed by Reimar and Walter Horten and built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik.
		The Hortens felt that the low-drag flying wing design could meet all of the goals: by reducing the drag, cruise power could be lowered to the point where the range requirement could be met.
		A Horten glider and the Ho 229 V3, which was undergoing final assembly, were secured and sent to Northrop Corporation in the United States for evaluation.

	The Horten Flying Wings II
		The Horten Vc was converted from the H Vb, which had been badly damaged by the elements.
		Walter Horten was aware of the performance achieved by the DFS 194 rocket-powered research aircraft, and thus knew that wooden construction methods were suitable for high-performance aircraft.
		New life was injected into the Horten Firm, when, in August, Hermann Goring informed the company that work on the H IX turbojet fighter-bomber was to proceed with all urgency and that it was to construct a flyable, but unpowered, example as soon as possible.

	Horten IV, Flying wing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It is most remarkable that the fourth of their models, the Horten IV, was already better, or at least equivalent in performance to those of conventional design, which were developed with all the experience gained through dozens of previous models.
		In the case of the Horten IV, using the slope of the total drag polar, the span efficiency appears to be 53 per cent, however, the actual span efficiency, using the induced drag increment, is 76 per cent.
		Rudolf Opitz, who saved the Horten IV from deterioration, rebuilt and flew it with remarkable success in the U.S. National Contest of 1951, as well as In the early flight tests at Mississippi State University then introduced the author to flying the plane and gave over much of his vast experience on flying wings.
