	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 Ho 229 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Horten Ho-IX (often erroneously called Gotha Go 229 or Ho 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.
		In the early 1930s, the Horten brothers had become interested in the flying wing design as a method of improving the performance of gliders.
		The Ho 229 was captured by U.S. VIII Corps of General Patton's Third Army.

	Horten Ho 229 Information
		The Government Air Ministry (Reichsluftfahrtministerium) approved the Horten proposal but ordered the addition of two 30 mm cannon, as they felt the aircraft would also be useful as a fighter due to its estimated top speed being significantly higher than that of any Allied aircraft.
		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.
		Whether this was done for reasons of stealth or simply because late-war Germany experienced shortages of metals and Hortens needed to reinforce the plywood for trans-sonic flight is a matter of largely unreferenced debate and speculation.

	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.
		The fate of the Ho 229 V2's test pilot, Erwin Ziller, was sealed when a flame-out occurred on February 26, 1945, during the landing approach of his fourth flight.
		The Ho 229 V3, which was under construction at the end of the war, was also seized, and was subsequently shipped to the USA for evaluation.

	Gotha Go 229 History
		The Horten brothers designed several flying wing prototypes since the 1930s, the Go229 was their only design that was close of entering the military service at the end of WW2.
		In 1943, the construction of the twin-jet-powered flying wing prototype Horten Ho IX V2 began.
		The Ho 229 was made of wood, since wood was not a "strategic" material and this would decrease the weight of the plane.

	Horten Ho 229 by Toby Nelson (Dragon 1/48)
		By 1945, the Hortens had gone through several flying wing gliders and Gotha received a contract to produce a turbojet-powered version of Hortens' design.
		The first flight of the Ho 229 V2 was on February 2, 1945.
		The obvious choice was a flying wing--I pointed out the Ho 229 design to my friends, and we used that as the "inspiration" for our design (in the same way that the Soviets used our Space Shuttle as the "inspiration" for theirs).

		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 flying wing fighter aircraft, designed by the Horten brothers and built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik.
		The Hortens felt that the low-drag all-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.
		The Ho 229 A-0 pre-production aircraft were to be powered by two Junkers Jumo 004B turbojets with 1,962 lbf (8.7 kN) thrust each.

		The Horton Ho 229, effectively one of the Luftwaffe’s legendary secret projects or so-called wonder weapons, was one of the most enigmatic aircraft designs to emerge from World War II.
		The Ho 229 was planned as the first of the next generation of German jet fighters to follow the Messerschmitt Me 262.
		The aircraft commenced flight-testing in December 1944, and it was planned to re- equip the Me163-equipped JG400 with the Ho 229 later in the war.

	Flying Wings : An Anthology : Reimar and Walter Horten
		Almost unknown today, the allwing twin-jet Go 229 was probably the most startling and unconventional warplane built during the WW2.
		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.
		The HO IX V1 was to fly as glider, subsequently being modified to install two BMW 003 A turbojets.

		The Ho IX was what was later to be known colloquially as a "skunked" project --- it went forward initially without the support (or even the knowledge) of the all-powerful Reichluftfahrtministerium (RLM, the State Ministry of Aviation).
		The Horten brothers planned that their Ho IX V1 was to undergo an extensive series of gliding tests before any attempt was to be made to install the pair of BMW 003 turbojets.
		The planned installation of the BMW 003 turbojet engines in the Ho IX V1 prototype was deemed impractical, and it was decided to install a pair of Jumo 004 engines in the second prototype (Ho IX V2).

	Horten: two brothers, one wing.
		Although it was not a complete success, it opened the way for other models, including the Ho IV with a high aspect ratio wing of 24 meters in span, as well as their Ho III that soared to 7000 meters in 1938.
		The Ho V structure did not permit such mean of high thrust propulsion so the Horten brothers returned to the drawing board and conceived a stronger and larger wing.
		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.

	Battlefield 1942
		The Horten brothers, Reimar and Walter, originally conceived the Ho 229 as a single-seat flying wing fighter.
		Prior to the addition of twin Jumo 004B turbojets on the Ho 229, the HIX V1 prototype was built as a glider and flew for the first time in March of 1944.
		But the Ho 229's production was short lived and came to an abrupt end when U.S. forces overran the research facility in late March of 1945.

		The Horten Ho IX or Go 229 was conceived by the brothers Reimar and Walter Horten, pioneers of flying wing aircraft.
		In January 1945, Ho IX V-2 was transferred to Oranienberg for flight tests with the first flight being on 2/2/1945.
		By the time the factory was occupied by American troops in late April 1945 and all development stopped, the first 20 pre-production aircraft were in a advanced state of construction with various subassemblies being found in the factory, as well as the V-6 a two seater trainer.

		Because of the great interest in the RC community for a detailed accurate scale version of this aircraft as well as numerous scale model builders around the globe, it was decided to form a group or to put it in a much simpler a work group or team.
		Several sources online as well as offline were searched and researched for what we feel will be the best choice for our laser cutting service and the final one chosen for the procurement of the the planned half dozen prototype kits.
		I fin fact the wing is to complex fore a one pieces cut the design may have to be changed to a two or even three piece design and attached methods will have to be determined by the team.

		Alas, this Ho 5 crashed on its first flight in 1937, breaking the aircraft, Reimar's jaw, and one of Walter's teeth.
		Their Ho 5-B flew successfully in 1938--two years before Northrop's--but was then allowed to languish under the demands of war production.
		Another Horten glider, the Ho IV, belonged for a time to Mississipi State University and is now on static 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.

		The Horten Ho XVIII was a proposed German World War II intercontinental bomber that would have been based upon the Horten Ho 229 design.
		After review, the Horten brothers were forced to share design and construction of the aircraft with Junkers and Messerschmitt engineers.
		The B model of the Ho XVIIIB was generally the same as the A model.

	Horten Ho 229/Go 229 - Fronta.cz
		David Myhra ve své monografii Ho 229 uvádí, že firma Junkers předpokládala, že si Hortenové zjišťovali před objednávkou parametry jejich motoru a tudíž sami museli vidět, že jsou rozměry jiné, naproti tomu Hortenové se pro změnu domnívali, že Jumo 004 má stejné parametry jako BMW 003 a že je Junkers měl upozornit na rozdíly...
		Hortenové se nejprve zdráhali tuto nabídku přijmout, ale pak si uvědomili, že práce na Ho IX se chýlí ke konci a že by měli myslet na vývoj dalšího typu (a zcela jistě i nového živobytí).
		Existují jen podklady, podle kterých lze říci, že sériové letouny Ho/Go 229 A-1, B-1 v základním provedení měly nést celkem čtyři kanóny typu MK 108 ráže 30 mm (munice byla 90 nábojů na hlaveň) a nebo jen dva kanóny MK 103 stejné ráže (140 nábojů na hlaveň).

	Horten Ho 229 Build
		I have been posting pictures and answering questions about the building of a Horten Ho 229 in the thread "Northrop N9M Plans Availability" I thought I better start a new thread as I am adding more pictures of the build.
		On most models the top of the servo and servo arm sticks outside of the surface of the wing and the control horn is attached to the outside of the control surface.
		On this Ho 229, the servo and servo arm will be inside the wing, mounted under the surface of the wing and the control horn is attached to the control surface like it is on a full scale plane (not on the outside sticking an inch above the surface).

		I must admit that when I first saw a Dragon kit of Horten Ho IX (see the end of this article) a few years ago, I thought "well, another one of those Luftwaffe 1946 paper aircraft".
		Walter and Reimar Horten were pioneers of the tailless all-wing aircraft, and built a succession of beautifully graceful sailplanes with outstanding performance in 1936-40, followed by examples with two pusher engines.
		Four more machines, Go 229 V4, V5, V6 and V7 were in various stages of completion, the V4 and V5 being two-seater prototypes of the projected night-fighter version.

		In August 1944 the Gotha Aircraft Company was given the job of series production of the Horten brothers' Ho IX all-wing fighter, which would be known as the Horten Ho 229.
		The Ho 229 was limited in space to install new equipment or to add more crew members.
		Hünerjäger, proposed an alternate all-wing design to the RLM in January 1945 which used many of the construction techniques as the Horten aircraft but had the advantage of being able to be modified with new equipment and engines without changing the flying characteristics greatly.
