FS2000. THE HORTEN HO 229 OR H0 IX OR GOTHA GO 229
FS2000. THE HORTEN HO 229 OR H0 IX OR GOTHA GO 229. By Steve ( RATT ) Robinson. Version 1.0 This aircraft ( Version 3 ) is the first true flying wing developed by the Horten brothers in the 2nd world war in Germany. It was intended to be a single seat flying wing jet fighter-bomber capable of 607 mph. It was also believed to be stealth due to the radar absorbing paint. This version has been painted in the night fighter sqn colours of the First Gruppe of the NJG ( NachtjagdGeschwader ) 11 which was formed in 1944. It is my belief that if this aircraft reached service this is where it would have been used. There were many variants of the Ho 229 on the drawing boards including a night fighter fitted with the experimental FuG 217 Neptun J-2 radar. This radar was a medium range system used exclusively by NJG 11. 2.4MB
