A heavy jet fighter built from an improved Horten 229 by the German Reich in 1953 as a counter for the new American P-71 Mustang jet fighters. Its flying wing design was anticipated to give it an edge over American fighters, though the two never fough each other in combat.

Pretty cool design. If you take away the fuel from the wing fuselages and the side ones as well it lowers your wing loading by about 20 and keeps your same balance. Love what you did with the wings!
