Good thing this did'nt happen

Never seen this about German air craft.  Google up Hitlers stealth bombers.  Talk about game changers.

Just because it's shaped like a B-2 does not make it a stealth bomber.

Flying wing.

IIRC it wasn't even designed as a bomber.

Interceptor.

Someone built a scale model and tested it with modern radar.

It only had 4/5 of it's actual size appear on radar

     Did Horton even test fly it?

     Because I thought this is how we found the development program  :D


     Northrop OTOH did fly this:

Google B-35, B-49, N1M, N9M or P-79B
