Horten Ho 229 Reconstruction Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2012
- We are a small but closely knitted team of individuals from a different walks of life who have one goal in mind - to rebuild and test Horten Ho 229-V3 World War II jet aircraft developed by Horten brothers.

Reimar and Walter Horten were real genius , for sure
A very ambitious project. Good luck and best wishes in all your efforts.
Great information Timor thanks for this great work of You......
"Allied pilots report UFOs"? That might have happened, but the Horten 229 certainly had nothing to do with it. There were only 2 prototypes and only one of them made 2 or 3 test flights, one of which was a simulated air fight against a Me 262. The Horten 229 never had enemy contact and no Allied pilot ever saw it fly.
Also it is a big stretch to assume the B2 bomber would be some sort of derivate of the Horten 229. Jack Northrop, the founder of the Northrop Corporation that later became Northrop Grumman, the company that built the B2, had designed and tested the first "flying wing" or "wing only" ("Nurflügler") aircraft before the Horten brothers started. He was in love with the idea of a "flying wing" aircraft pretty much since he started building aircraft and he never gave up on the idea. The Horten 229 certainly was better than Northrop's first flying wing designs and he might have learned a thing or two from the captured prototype, but he did not steal the idea from the Horten brothers.
All 3 men were fascinated with flying wing designs and all 3 thought they are the future of aircraft design in general. That their designs also turned out to be harder to detect by Radar however, was more a positive side effect than the original intention. The B2 isn't a flying wing design because it is a copy of the Horten 229, it is a flying wing because that just happens to be the best design for stealth aircraft, especially for big stealth aircraft.
The vast majority of ufo sightings have occured after 1947? After the war. Maybe Soviet Union and United States reverse engineering ww2 German technology? You know, like the swept back wing, full moving horizontal stabilizers for supersonic flight, axial flow turbojets just to name a few.
O yes yes... you have write... every thing is natural and coincidence to be... I never see self lieing man like you or you are....
Stealth is about materials and reposition of engin... not about wing concept.
Some secret stay secret... Today secret is "Americans, Russia founder of jet aircraft, stealth, b2 etc" "Americans, Russia is founder of kalašnjikov,m 16" "America,Russia is founder of atomic bomb, energy" "Americans, Russia is founder of rocket technology and space technology"... Well, that what is happend to advance civilization, people when accepted dictatorship, dictatorship of man build by bankrobbers with one gold, destroy every thing west from France, every thing what is not in our control.
Northrop used Prop Engines, the Horton Brothers HO229 had the Jet Engines in the Fuselage first, Northrop stole that idea and put it on there B2 Bomber, Wake up Blind Freddy can see that, Spoils of War it's called.
any progress? it is my dream to see this thing fly
same
Kyle Berube yo igual
Its not gonna fly due to its condition, and it *WILL NEVER* because its the only one
Nope. There is no news about the restoration project
@@darnit1944 how can i find out what happened, or whats happening???
astonishing machine. hope to see it flying :)
I can't wait to see it fly
What a great paper airplane. Kermit weeks should have restored the one at Udvar-Hazy, made templates, and then built his own. Kind of like the guys did with the me-262 in Texas.
I think that would be a great idea. With the use of modern more reliable engines the HO-229 should perform magnificently. At the very least the one in the Smithsonian should be fully restored to educate people about the flying wing technology and where it originated. Flying wings generally perform very well with the addition of winglets at the wing tips, otherwise some sort of yaw stability will be needed such as split elevons.
Excellent Gentlemen ! (Y)
yes sir!
out of curiosity, will the ho 229 be able to perform flying displays after restoration or is it only gonna be static?
If you ever manage to complete this thing, please relase ALOT of video footage from it.
Yep, we plan 60-120 minutes video of both construction and test flights "Discovery Chanel" style.
Timur Maslenikov Are you guys still working on it? If yes, is there maybe a sneak peak video coming? :P
Please someone tell me did this fizzle out or are they still quietly buiding .
I hope to see it fly too, formation flight would be sweet, especially over Capitol like in Wolfenstein The New Order trailer.
well i wish you the best of luck and hope to oneday see it flying
How is the project doing at the moment??
are you still working in thise? all information homepage fb youtube is 2 years old
Can you do an Update video?
It's been a Long Time
The world’s first supersonic aircraft! LP13b German of course!
Why did the project get cancelled?
Any progress?
Update?
I went to the website - and they ask me for a password ....
Could you please provide it ?
Thank you .
I really want to see this fly. I'm designing my own laser cut flying wing at the moment.
It will be fully functional aircraft.
Die Website hat nur einen Gästebereich. Wie melde ich mich an?
I think this project cancelled? Couldn't find any update at all.
ikr
is the project dead?
the site isnt avalible
I really want to see your web site but there are restriction, it wants password...
Great.
I want to see flying Ho229.
Let's make a large number of Ho229 to a formation flight .
Let's sell the world many Ho229.
Who wanted this? Horten 229 is obsolete by 1950s. It is outclassed by F86 Sabre and Mig-15 jets.
Darren Atm I doubt he is referring to military’s, but rather collectors
So far talking to various investor / interested in participation parties.
So these are custom made for customers ?
Hi its bin 7 years now whats your progress
And I'm guessing it was never built or still in progress?
Hi Thomas,
We are in discussion of Ho229 aircraft delivery with a potential customer. Will update everyone via Facebook once the contract is signed.
How many will be delivered, and when will it fly?
What happened to the project...
İ have 2 questions= İs there a technical manual of this aircraft and is it possible for you guys to build the Lippisch P.13a if requested and paid for (how much will it cost) ?
Hi, sadly there are no tech manual available for Lippisch P.13a, the blueprints will have to be pulled from Deutsch Museum in Munich. The document pull is about 2-4 months (standard bureaucracy) or trip to Munich (about 2 weeks digging in archives) + about 6 months of CAD/SolidWork analysis since such exotic machines existed only in rough blueprint forms and must be analyzed for stress, power to weight, CG, etc, aerodynamics, etc... that alone will cost a pretty penny. In addition to that, the fact that this is a ramjet aircraft unfortunately I would not be able to quote the price even in the approximate range since we do not have technology / materials to manufacture ram engines. P13a is a beautiful machine but unfortunately it is too advance for us, unless of course you know where to get a spare ramjet engine ;) Wishing you all the best in your search.
Now you got me thinking. Technically it can be fitted with a spare turbojet but that's the best I can think of.
Looks like this one never got off the ground-if you'll pardon the pun-which is a great shame as this is a stunning aircraft and I would have loved to see it actually flying. If there is anyone out there still who is connected with the project, I would very much like to learn where you got the plans we saw briefly. I intend to build a scale model of the Horten Ho229 but without accurate plans there is no chance so if you can help me in my quest, I'd be very grateful.
Many Thanks
You will need as you likely all ready know better engines. Computer aided controls will assist with their needy control characteristics. There is if you didn't all ready know information on the leading edge air ionization of the b-2 that might be handy that has recently turned up on the net.
How is progress?
I am sad if you failed
at least build a miniature of it pls
I wish to fly one of them but I live in Australia I will be visiting USA, germany sayed by the germen as Deutschland around Birlin, China, prague, Europe london do not know where else I‘m visiting I will be vloging through out my holidays
What happened?
That would surely be fun but it is just too big for our budget and team.
please make a new video
It’s been 8 Years and no sign of any progress. Just Talk and No Action. It must be just for Show.
Password?
How is your progress, I swear ill cry from joy if i see it flying.
These are already flying in the form of miniature radio controlled versions which prove the design is good. There are quite a few you can see in youtube that have mini jet engines.
Yeah thank u for the info but what i meant was the real full scale ones ;)
Some secret stay secret... Today secret is "Americans, Russia founder of jet aircraft, stealth, b2 etc" "Americans, Russia is founder of kalašnjikov,m 16" "America,Russia is founder of atomic bomb, energy" "Americans, Russia is founder of rocket technology and space technology"... Well, that what is happend to advance civilization, people when accepted dictatorship, dictatorship of man build by bankrobbers with one gold, destroy every thing west from France, every thing what is not in our control.
™soon
What is the password to enter the site:
www.hortenwings.com ?
could you make the Horten Ho-18a first stealth bomber ^^
It's not stealth. It's just a long range bomber with unstable platform.
So was this guy a fraud all along? Website doesn't let you see anything.
that original design have troubles in a supersonic hight speed. sorry bad english
The original design never reached supersonic.
No updates at all in 6+ years so probably not feasible and dead project.
Pirates of the caribean OST but downtuned LOL
