I find the commentary easier to tolerate if you imagine that he is wearing outrageously tight shorts and touching himself inappropriately in an evelated shed.

The Concord and flying wing are very impressive indeed.

Who was the first? was this the first plane designed to slip through radar undetected

“Jack Northrop was involved in innovative all-wing designs in the late-1920s, with his first designs flying in the 1928–1930 period.” The B-2 Sprit was not copied from a Horten. Horten and Northrop developed flying wings independent of each other with out knowledge of the other until long after their ideas had been put to paper. Wings are amazing, they are the most efficient for of aircraft.

The Hortens were not the first flying wings.

I am endlessly in love with the Concord an always will be. Her shape is simply exquisite. But that Horten Wing model was amazing to watch! Good stability in spite of the lack of vertical surface elements.

Notice how he never mentions that the Germans created this aircraft till the very end.The Americans built on Hortens design and came up with the stealth fighter and bomber.

Every time the announcer says “absolutely superb” you have to chug a beer.

I think it would be absolutely superb if the announcer would shut the fuck up.

Does it use split flaps for yawing stability? I didn’t think that it did?

That’s a true flying wing right there no stupid vertical stabilizers and no stalling, true engineering the Horton’s knew their shit

Wow. That Ho 229 model was eerie as all hell when it first lifted and banked. Seeing a full sized one fly would have to be a real eye opener. Very cool.

FYI: ~Fat-ass Gen.Goering lost war for noble anti-Commie Germany, wasting resources on inaccurate V1 & V2 weapons, totally overlooking advanced Hornten/Stealth-wing fighter/bomber technology, if produced by the thousands as decisive factor in WW2! Using Radar-eluding efficient boundary-layer flight skimming ocean-top at hi-speed, then dropping fuel-tanks, -St.Hitler’s Luftwaffe would have had decisive critical paralyzing tactical-advantage of blasting Allied-bombers before leaving ground.!!!

The Luftwaffe should have built and fly these planes just to say “HAW HAW, OUR PLANES ARE COOLER THAN YOURS!”
