The fact that all these are jets makes me think of the timing. Looking around and bot seeing any flying wings as fighter/interceptor makes me wonder more about what ifs… BTW, the opening scene and music gives me chuckle by now. :)😄

Where can I locate a full set of plans for the Ho-229 in order to make an accurate scale model. I do not care if it is in German; Google translate can handle the language problem, but the dimensions and air foil are necessary
As a distant relative of the Horten family and a flying wing fanatic, thank you for taking the time to talk about the 229!

G'day,
Thanks for the
Shoutout !
These
Design Analyses are all
Pretty much
Delusional
WIBNIFs...,
Kinda thing.
Wouldn't
It
Be
Nice
If...,
Fantasies.
Perhaps, maybe there were
Three people in all the
Luftwaffe
Were sufficiently skilled
As to be able to
Expect to survive
Trying to put one of these
Back down on the
Airfield, undamaged, after
Trying to fly the
Thing
Over the
Fence at the end of the
Runway.
Birds might not have
Tailfins, Rudders,
Or
Rear-Fuelages...;
But...,
They
DO
Possess
V-Tails featuring an
Infinitely-Variable
V-Angle, from
-80° to
+90° in
Dihedral..., &
Infinitely-Variable
Camber
&
Rigger's
Angle-Of
Incidence...,
On both
Mainplane & Tail
Surfaces...
So,
The liklihood of
ANYBODY
Ever being able to routinely
Confidently
Strap into
ANY one of these hypothetical
"Doodles "..., if ever they'd been
Built to be
Flight-Ready...;
And then expect to be able to
Take off, fly 10 Miles, land -
Drink Coffee while the machine is refuelled,
And
Then successfully flies back to Base...
LET ALONE
GO
BUGGARISING
About
Playing Sillybuggars by
Trying to
Shoot at
Strangers...;
While trying not to
Crash from
Sloppy Flying or
Set an
Engine alight
By having dared to
Alter the Throttle
Setting
While flying
Level, or
Diving,
Climbing or
Turning...
All of which was taught to
1944/'45 Luftwaffe
Jet
Jockeys.
Propellers
WON
the
Great
PATRIOTIC
Waaauughhh(!)
Of
Two...
Such is life,
Have a good one...
Ciao !
Imagine the germans had all the time and resources to go ahead with their engineering.
