Horten XVc "Pappenheim" flying

- This is an extract from a german newsreel, showing the Horten XVc "Pappenheim" flying. The Horten "Pappenheim" was one of the three Horten XVc gliders that were built in Europe (according to plans from R. Horten, then stationed in Argentina), in the early '50s. All other Hortens XVc were built in Argentina.
Based on the Horten XVc, I built a small RC slope soarer which flies perfectly. You can see the video here: • Horten XVc Urubu RC Sl...
That was a smooth touchdown.
The Horton brothers were brilliant. And they were little more than kids when they began developing and perfecting these designs! As a frustrated glider pilot, I consider their later, high aspect sailplanes among the loveliest machines ever to take flight.
Magestic flying wings, for sure.
I am impressed that this plane needs only 50 or 60 meters for take off
A wonderful Plane 👍
Indeed. And it flies wonderfully also at model scale. Watch my other video with the RC Horten XVc I have built: ua-cam.com/video/s05vSqg7-0M/v-deo.htmlsi=XwNCl-GpyUr8oYZg
nice plane.
Rieman Horten se radico en Argentina despues de la WWII. Alli construyó para la Fabrica Militar de Aviones un prototipo de esta ala volante, que se puede ver hoy en el Museo Aeronautico de Morón, Provincia de BsAs.

Looks like one of the time machines from Meet the Robinsons
Was hat dieser Flieger für einen Antrieb?👆👆👆👆😀😀😀 Viele Grüsse aus Germany
Kein motor. Es ist ein segelflugzeug und wird mit einem Katapult gestartet.
Butter
@@EarlHare Butter? With crisps?
Fuselage like the P 38.
@@dr.wilfriedhitzler1885 Yes, kinda...
This flew but 229 couldnt?¿?¿?
@@kutlachakela Also the 229 flew. What do you mean exactly?
I wonder how that thing does in a flat spin?
Answer: VERY badly.
What powers it?
slingshot type system, it doesnt glide for long
Pappenheim bei Treuchtlingen?
Ich bin kein Deutscher, das musst du mir sagen! :)
I DIDN'T NOTICE A PROPULSION SOURCE....
That’s because it doesn’t have one what with being a glider
@@richuar...THANX...NO MENTION OE IT BEING A GLIDER...! 👍
What was the propulsion on this prototype?
@@billbunting4253 It was a glider.
@ Towed, I thought so. A fully operations aircraft with similar wing earlier, and one of my favorites of all time, was the Waterman Aerobile. One hanging in the Smithsonian.
@@billbunting4253 Yes, it cannot be seen in this video, but apparently there is a towing winch in the distance. Waterman' s Aerobile was a completely different beast: it was motorized flying wing, intended as a "flying car". So, the wings were removable and the wheels powered just like in an automobile. The Horten Pappenheim in this video, was intended to be a trainer glider from the beginning. Of course, it was also a flying wing, like the Aerobile, but the similarities end here.
@ True to all you say. I was really thinking of the technological level at the time. From an aviation perspective. Commonalities were the swept back wing for both distributed lift, yaw and pitch stability, hence no rudder required, and the dihedral for roll stability. The Aerobile was developed up to 1935. It was incredibly stable to fly and could not be put into a flat spin nor stalled unintentionally. There was a simulator file for FX10 which I flew a number of times. It was not fast. The Horton Papenheim would have had very similar flying characteristics, except that the center of gravity of the Aerobile was lower and it had small wing tip rudders so the Horton would have been somewhat less stable.
@@billbunting4253 Provided that the Center of Gravity in the Pappenheim was correct, then it would also be very stable. It was reported as such, at least. In general, the correct CoG placement for a swept flying wing is one of the most critical aspects for its success, whether it is with endplates, or without. I really love these aircraft.
グライダー感はあるね旋回力がね
