Horton 229

[FLS]

Krusty, not saying you're not correct in your position, but could you share with us some of the information you have access to concerning the problems with the Ho 229? I've looked and looked, and everything I've found only talks of several somewhat successful test flights, albeit with mishaps that were blamed on pilot error, and the eventual destruction of one of the prototypes in a crash caused by an engine failure.

There is speculation that the crash of the Horten IX was caused by fumes from the engine. The likely cause was the low clouds which didn't allow the pilot to glide in to land. Instead he needed to come in low at a high AOA with high thrust on one engine. This is difficult enough in any twin engine aircraft. Reimar Horten has stated that he would have added a vertical stabilizor if he could have continued development of the HO IX. If it ever had guns mounted it would have needed more yaw control then it had in the prototype.

if we got this then we would need like a 1946 what if arena ya know I think it would be a monster in there lol

It could climb to 49,000 feet, cruise at 620 mph, almost invisible on radar, out maneuver a Me-262.................it would have to be the highest perked plane in AH by a large margin.

thats kinda what we need. do 335, mig 15 f 86 p-80. since htc isnt making us new maps, how about a futures arena. bearkats and f7s. all planes designed and flew during the war, but didnt see actual combat. twin mustangs. meteors. b-36, but dont think it actually flew till 1946. japs had the shinden, theres about 15 planes they could come up with. the f4u with the b-29 engine!

exactly, P.1101, Triebflügel, Jak-3 VF-107, Ju-688, delta-wing 262, what about the mig15, mig25, Su-35, F-22, nothing else is needed indeed.

Edit: hint hint, try Il-2 1946, they got a bunch of theese aircrafts.
