Description
1:72 Horten Go-229 Revell 04312
The brothers Reimar and Walter Horten were among the best-known designers of flying wing aircraft in Germany until the end of World War II. They brought their experience in this sector into a special unit, known as Sonderkommando 9, which was responsible for the further development of flying wing aircraft. The development of the aircraft known as Horten Ho IX, equipped with two BMW 003A-1 jet engines, began in 1942. While the first machine could only be completed as a glider due to difficulties with the jet engine, the second prototype was equipped with the Jumo 004B-1 engine. In 1944, the V2 made its first flight, reaching speeds of over 780 km/h. The series production of the Horten was transferred to the Gothaer Waggonfabrik, and the type designation was changed to Go 229. The first machine from the Gothaer Waggonfabrik, the Go 229 A-O V3, received the Jumo 004C engines.
