The Horten 229 was a jet interceptor designed and built by Germany at the end of the second world war. The factory was overrun before any could be properly finished and flown, and only 2 aircraft were ever built. The Horten 229 has good manouverability, acceleration and arnament (2x 30mm cannon) but suffers from instability and low speeds for a jet. My simpleplanes version starts shaking at roughly 520mph, at which point it starts to become slightly uncontrollable. Have Fun!
