Light jet powered bomber, developed during the final stages of WW2.
Despite being a "flying wing", this particular SimplePlanes model is extremely stable in the air, even without an out-and-out vertical stabilizer.
Please rate, comment and have a look at my other creations. Enjoy!

50 Cheddar36It doesn't turn and you have to fly 500 mph before take off9.7 years ago

8,632 BeryllCorpIt looks good! no offense, but this plane model is supposed to be a fighter but your replica handles like a brick bomber.9.7 years ago

548 CapitalTechnologiesIf the game added taller wheels (or bigger) then this plane would look even more realistic9.7 years ago

5,476 thomin@AndrewGarrison Regarding take-off speed, I guess that flying wings in particular are very difficult to balance. In order for it to start quicker, I'd need more lift up front which is extremely difficult to do with a basic shape like that. Though one simple solution would be to have a height differential between front and rear wheels. Though again, that would compromise the design. It would be ideal to have wheels that can extend to twice the height, that would solve so many issues, particularly with these older planes, lift-off being one of them ;)9.7 years ago

5,476 thominYes, fiddling around is the key. There are many ways of making it work. I'm currently working on a MiG-21. Not sure if it'll amount to anything worthwhile sharing, but I think I'll upload a work-in-progress state in order to show one way of how I get parts to overlap.9.7 years ago

72.3k AuthrosAh, I see now. I'll have to have a mess around. I just ripped apart one of your planes and discover how to start the wings further out from the centre of a block too so hopefully will be utilising that one soon.9.7 years ago

5,476 thomin@Authros: Check out the comment sections of my Bf 109 Mk3 and my Me 262. I talked about how to overlap parts there.9.7 years ago

72.3k AuthrosBrilliant work thomin, I'm still scratching my head over how everyone is overlapping blocks recently though.9.7 years ago

60 virtualizeIt does looked very cool, and far better than the one I made, but just self-destructed in high speed. Also, I remembered that calling it Ho is the Nazis offical way, and Go is to recongnize its company and the designers.9.7 years ago

144 LolivierProbably, but the plane is kinda fragile at high speed9.7 years ago

646 kellyJGreat detail & turbofan use!9.7 years ago

1,102 AVIAVery much liklike the original. Great details9.7 years ago

548 CapitalTechnologiesWay much more detailed than mines👍👍👍 good job9.7 years ago

5,476 thominActually, the prototypes were called Horten HI X. Had it gone into production, it would have gotten the designated number 229. Calling it Gotha was never a real option as planes never got the name of the company assembling it (which would have been Gotha) but always that of the company designing it - in this case Horten just as in other cases it was Messerschmitt or Focke-Wulf.9.7 years ago
-
144 LolivierAhhh, this looks like the original... And officialy, his name was Gotha Go 229, but in big, it's Horten Ho 2299.7 years ago

15.9k AllstarI've wanted to make this airplane for Sooooo long! You have captured its beauty perfectly! Thank you!9.7 years ago

Dev AndrewGarrisonIt's really good. The only problem I have with it is the 500+mph speed required to takeoff.9.7 years ago
