The Horten flying wings are one thing above all else: legendary aircraft that fly without a fuselage or tail. With the development of the Ho 229, the Horten brothers tackled design principles that were far ahead of their time. The H IXV1 flew for the first time in March 1944 as an unpowered glider the concept culminated in the development of the US Stealth B2 bomber in the late 1980s. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the development and testing of the Horten Ho 229. Graphics, design drawings and other images make this book a standard reference work.
