Honestly, the first time see the photo of the plane ' shaped magic ' Horten Ho IX Horny er a few years ago , my mind was " Hmmm ... one more Luftwaffe aircraft which exist only on paper " . Estimates are wrong! Because sebenarnyalah revolutionary aircraft in this era actually been built and flown by the Germans during the war ! Obviously , the fact it is enough to make this plane be wearing special Beibeh egg !
Historians still disagree will most afdol how the title of this plane . There are named Horten IX , Horten Ho IX , Gotha Go 229 , Horten Ho - 229 . If for me personally , calling Horten Ho IX or IX is more inclined to the type of development ( glider - glider made in previous Horten Horten named I, II , III ... and so on ) . Official production version of its own ( which is made by the aircraft manufacturer Gotha ) called Go 229 , and instead of the Ho 229 .
Two brothers Walter and Reimar Horten was the pioneer in the manufacture of aircraft wings without a tail , and has built successively planes ' screen ' without the engine beautifully shaped with a stunning performance in 1936 s / d in 1940 , followed by an example with equipped with two engines driving . Their experience in making large fixed-wing aircraft that can fly is something magical in that time , and is the only one in the world . In 1943 Walter Horten expressed interest to build a high-speed aircraft are made of ... wood ! Reports of the development of the DFS 194 ( later renamed Messerschmitt Me 163 ) led Professor Walter Lippisch more convincing that even the best of wood can bring a jet engine or a rocket and then fly . In 1943 he proposed the idea to the Commander of the Luftwaffe Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring , and without more ado the project is approved .
Horten IX V1 first prototype was built on the basis of the draft like a glider . The process only took six months , and turn test flight for the first time in February 1944 in Göppingen .
Along with the test flight of the V1 , a second prototype was developed directly anyway . V2 is powered by two turbojet . The design is a mixture of various types of previous aircraft , and has received improvements here and there. The machine used is a BMW 003 and Jumo 004 instead of as scheduled . Large front wheel is a cheat sheet of the tail wheel aircraft Heinkel He 177 , while the main landing equipment " borrowed " from the Messerschmitt Bf 109 G.
The first flight made in Oranienburg dated February 2, 1945 . Pilot examiners are Erwin Ziller . The plane shows good results , especially in terms of the quality of the wheel with just a bit of instability on the side ( which is now a major drawback for tailless aircraft modern ) . Equally successful second flight , although damaged aircraft wheel brake parachute unfurled during landing . Two weeks later , in the third flight was a disaster that was not unexpected . Ziller uncharacteristically off the plane for further testing . When it reaches a height of 800 m , one of the engines suddenly ko'it . The pilots who experienced indirect screaming like a granny caught spy shower . He immediately pushed the plane to slide down in the lower elevations to help revive the machine crashed . Suddenly at an altitude of 400 meters ngelepot wheel plane ( WTF ? ) Back inside. As a result, the plane lost speed and can not be controlled . Erwin Ziller was killed when the plane crashed into the ground and dived prototype destroyed .
Despite the setback as a result of this accident , the project is still continuing with all of the remaining energy . Prototype components that still exist immediately transferred to Gothaer Wagonfabrik ( Gotha ), which is in Friedrichsrode . In March 1945 the project focused on the third prototype , which is named Go 229 V3 . V3 is larger than both its predecessor and has a more refined shape in some places , which is meant to be an example for a series of pre - production aircraft Go 229 A - 0 which has been ordered by the Luftwaffe as many as 20 pieces . V3 is powered by Jumo 004C engines , and could carry two MK108 30mm cannon at the base of the wings .
But everything was too late for the Luftwaffe . American troops occupied the Gotha factory on April 14, 1945 and found the windfall : a prototype V3 is 90 % completed and not yet flown . Four more other aircraft that Go 229 V4 , V5 , V6 and V7 are present as well , with several stages of completion . V4 and V5 is a prototype with two seats and is planned as a night fighter version .
Of course the American people are not wasting the present invention , and soon back to his country to steal V3 . The scientists there can only watch stunned already so far progress has been achieved by rivals from Germany . Enormity again , V3 can still be seen to this day , precisely at NASM 's Paul E. Garber Restoration , Preservation & Storage Facility located in Silver Hill , Maryland .
