    Very impressive! I agree... It's the best flying wing I've ever seen.

    Looks a lot like the skywalker falcon without the winglets, the falcon is one of my favorites I have 4 of them, but this looks a lot more involved and makes a lot more noise! nice vid thanks for sharing.

    Looks and flies just like a jet powered barn swallow or a night hawk! Fantastic aircraft and superb flying! Thank you for the video and flight demonstration! You should be very proud of your singular achievement. This aircraft flies like it owns the sky.

    If ever an airplane that needed different color schemes top and bottom this is it. Congratulations to the pilot for maintaining orientation. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten it upside down and backwards some time during the flight.

    please could you explain the flight controls? it looks like it has air brakes toward the base of the wings and towards the tips it has airlerons that are also split drag rudders.

    The one thing I don't like about airshows, including the "Wing For Kids" program my club puts on, is what seems to be a need to constantly talk at the crowd over loud speakers. Say what the aircraft is and some specifications and then be quiet.

      , The Horten 9 proto type flew successfully about twenty two times , until a. fatal crash due to turbine failure. The Ho 9 had the same engines as the ME 262.
      A simulated dog fight found that not only was the Ho 9 faster, but much more maneuverable as well.
      There were a few prototypes that didn't fly , only because they were uncompleted when discovered by American forces.

      Though based on Horten-Nurflügels and on the Schapel SA882, the aerodynamic design in the video is mine. I made it around 2011 and built a model with a Kolibri microturbine. Later, John asked me for a kit, which is the one flying in this video.

      @@andreschavarria1450 My involvement with the project ended after most of the composite parts were made prior to final assembly of the prototype. My departure from the company was not amicable. Rod Schapel, the designer, and I never spoke after I left the company. That said, I was told that their were a couple of test pilots that tried to fly it, one of which was a friend of mine. I know it was damaged on at least one flight attempt, but never new the exact extent of the damage. I think the main problem with it was that the designer failed to produce results, and the project ran out of funding. My friend indicated that he thought it would never fly without significant modifications. One of the main errors was that the engine was a Mazda style rotary engine, that was problematic from the beginning. Had they started with a proven aircraft engine, it may have eventually flown. But the details of other problems with it, I couldn't really say, as everything I know is from second or third hand sources, which I don't deem as reliable. The airplane was supposed to be a proof of concept that would later be developed as an FAA Part 103 ultralight for production. Unfortunately, the end result was that the designer over promised and under delivered. The last time I saw the airplane it was going down the highway on a flatbed truck. Recently someone told me that it was in the possession of the Planes of Fame Museum, but I haven't been able to verify that. I would love to have some pictures of it, as the only good pictures i have were of the original plug that I built to make the molds from. I don't have any photos of the finished aircraft.

    The Horten [1] was a fighter-aircraft and DID fly - and they are not not 'hung on a wall'. The planes and parts discovered in Germany at the end of WWII were shipped to the US, [ along with the Horten brothers! ], and are still in 'classified' or 'secret' storage after extensive investigation. - 11 test flights were made in the prototype, it was faster than the ME262 with which it shared engines, but eventually it killed the test pilot after a flame out in one engine at low level. 'Flying wings' are unstable in yaw and are structurally weak with the swept-wing that was used to partly counter this defect.
    As usual, Hitler stuck his untrained nose in and diverted effort to a bigger, 6-engine, 600 mph suicide bomber, designed to attack US cities in about 1946 with atom bombs, which Goering hoped to have by then. None survive. The Horten [1] followed the so-called '3x1000' spec. - 1000 km/hr, 1000 kg bomb load, 1000 km range. There is speculation that the Horten was 'stealthy' - and I believe that a full-scale mock up with similar silver-loaded paint to the original did indeed have a low radar signature, except for the cockpit and engine ports. The Hortens were built of wood laminates, like the mosquito.

    • @pauljs75
      @pauljs75 8 лет назад +1

      +belson alan from what I understand Hortens were also a bit more stable than the Northrop models that paralleled it in the U.S. Supposedly the wingtips had a slightly lower angle of attack than the rest of the wing, so the Horton pilots didn't have the nasty wing-over stall characteristic which may have lead to the cancellation of the Northrop flying wing program. That wing twist characteristic for stability is seen to a much greater extreme in modern hang-gliders.

    • @rossclements8874

      +pauljs75 Reflex, it makes wings inherently stable

    • @leifvejby8023
      @leifvejby8023 8 лет назад

      Not reflex on the Horten wings. The Hortens used wash out. Wash out is a win - win - win on swept wings. It reduces drag by reducing the tip vortices, it increases stability and it reduces the risk of tip stalling.

    • @pheenix42
      @pheenix42 8 лет назад

      You are correct about the radar signature test. It was enough that had it been fielded against the Chain Home system, it would have been far too late to scramble interceptor squadrons by the time it was detected.
