Gotha Go 229

Gotha Go 229 is an amazing aircraft ever made by the German Nazi. The technologies that Gotha Go 229 had was absolutely overwhelmed most of the Allied force weapons by that time. The shape of this baby is unique and influenced most of the stealth aircraft in the modern world such as F117 night hawk and B2 spirit. But as far as I know, it is not widely deployed by Hitler(maybe not being deployed after all). Some sort of one of the secret weapons they were working on.


This is one of the picture taken when the Gotha Go 229
is being prepared to launch.


one of the remaining Gotha Go 229. Notice the two Jumo Jet engines.



close-up look on it's front. the cockpit canopy also looks really weird if compared to any other aircrafts in those days.


Graphical image of Gotha Go 229. What a beauty~

technology always expand as we study them and discover many amazing things that is out of the world. I respect the engineers and scientists of the third Reich as they discovered and produced a lot of magnificent things back there.

Actually it is Horten Go 229, this was due to it being designed by the Horten brothers but being produced at the Gothaer factory. So the designation was chnaged from Horten Ho IX to the Horten Go 229.
