Horten 229 Replica

Blast from the past: The full-scale replica of the Ho 2-29 bomber was made with materials available in the 40s.

With its smooth and elegant lines, this could be a prototype for some future successor to the stealth bomber. But this flying wing was actually designed by the Nazis 30 years before the Americans successfully developed radar-invisible technology. Now an engineering team has reconstructed the Horten Ho 2-29 from blueprints, with startling results.
