What does this look like to you ? Something from Star Wars ?
The logo looks familiar right ?
The image seen above is all recreated version . . .
and this is the original version
The original, found in storage for 50 years in some US government facilities. . .
Well this plane is the Horten 2-29 fighter. If this has been completed, the course of World War 2 would had been change, with its stealth capabilities, New York would have been nuke. German is the one who first do the atomic bomb thing, just in case you don’t know. After they lost the war the US and the Soviet Union capture all its scientist and redevelop it. One of it is the rocket, if is not for the V2 rocket from the German, we human race would not be able to fly to space that soon.They are also the first one who made the jet engine. The Horton is not really invisible to our plain eye, it is radar invisible, something like that which is made possible by its building materials which include wood and carbon which increased its radar absorption . The jet engine is also integrated into the fuselage, the only plane that look like this plane is the B2 spirit stealth bomber . . . according to
Gizmodo . . .
the plane could have been in London eight minutes after the British radar system detected it. In comparison, other planes took 19 minutes since detection to target, which gave the RAF fighter enough time to scramble and hunt down the bastards. The Ho 2-29 would have made the interception almost impossible, if at all.
The bad news is that this plane could have completely changed the course of the war if Germany only had one or two extra years of lead time. Not only in the fight against Britain, but also against the US and the Soviet Union. The Horten brothers had another design based on the Ho 2-29. A design for a intercontinental strategic bomber, the Ho 18.
The 142-foot wingspan bomber was submitted for approval in 1944, and it would have been able to fly from Berlin to NYC and back without refuelling, thanks to the same blended wing design and six BMW 003A or eight Junker Jumo 004B turbojets. As the documentary shows, had the Nazis extended the war in 1946 and developed the atomic bomb as planned, the Ho 18 could have been their Enola Gay.
The good news: That's a lot of ifs, the Allies decided to invade Normandy soon enough, and we are all here without wearing stupid outfits, swastikas, and funny moustaches.
Life is good, people, life is good.
This is the fact . . . if wan to read more you can refers to the National Geographic special review which include a show or something I am not sure with that

you may want to update your first paragraph the fighter was completed and took flight and was tested for 2 months as the first jet powered wing plane until an engine failure caused it to crash killed the test pilot. the bomber version which would have been alot bugger with 6 engines would have been able to avoid this as it could have run on 4 if one failed. the fighter never made it to mass production because of its buildtime only as it was finished near the end of the war and would have taken over a year to build.
