History and use of the Ho 229 aircraft

The Ho 229 (also known as the Horten H.IX) was an innovative German fighter-bomber designed in the late stages of World War II by the Horten brothers. It was the world's first jet-powered flying wing, developed in Germany between 1944–1945 with the intention of minimizing radar detectability and achieving high speeds. The Ho 229 was one of the most futuristic Luftwaffe projects; unfortunately, no completed aircraft saw combat. Stealth technology was recognized as key only several decades later, making this model an icon of aviation innovation and the secret programs of the Third Reich.
