Kappi Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I have no desire to see an experimental aircraft that only ever flew as a glider made in DCS. There is no way to hold it to the dcs standard and it would just be a "what if" plane better suited for other sims. It didn't just fly as a glider. The V2 flew with both jet engines 3-4 test flights. ;-) Just getting the facts straight. Edit says: Shagrat beat me on that one :D Edited March 12, 2018 by Kappi ___________________________________________ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Looking forward to it, Belsimtek!:thumbup:
Baco Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Horten Brothers continued its work in Argentina in the 50s. They even designed a Supersonic Interceptor that never reached the prototype stage. While Kurt Tank was developing the Pulqui, later also dropped (for 38 F 86 Sabres offered by the US if the development was droped (and Peron deposed). Tank moved to India where his talents were more apreciated, while teh Horten Bros. remained here building Gliders...

Edit says: Shagrat beat me on that one :D exactly... the V2 did.... but not the V3, and certainly not the V4+ versions , latter of which are paper planes.

Magot Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Hi, its really interesting project, but original german horten had a bit differ shape in nose part:
draken152 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I think light-shadow-angle of photography have made this kind of shape :music_whistling:.... Same aircraft after 60 years.... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Building FW190D pit ,,To Dora with love" http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132743
Magot Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Looks close to Northrop Grumman project dummy HO-229

peeter Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Cancelled I guess, this aircraft was never in use anyway 1
QuiGon Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Cancelled I guess, this aircraft was never in use anyway Thanks, but I can do guesses on my own. I was hoping for verified information or an official statement...

rkk01 Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 A few Ho-229 articles have hit my social media feeds over the last few years, mostly from the Smithsonian as they work on the V3 restoration I fully understand the reluctance from some quarters to have a Ho-229, but as NineLine frequently states... it’s about interesting aircraft and this certainly is. (If nothing else, simulation is all about doing something that can’t be done in real life) Did the v3 ever fly? There are no RLM / German records, but based on the restoration work it does seem likely that the airframe was at least ground run at some stage as scorch marks were found beneath the engines. Personally, I find it inconceivable that either the existing airframe or a contemporaneous replica was not run as part of post war research - so the scorch marks might have been from US based trials even if the airframe wasn’t tested in Germany... Also, oddly, this thing was captured in 1945, but didn’t turn up at the Smithsonian until 1950 or 1952 . Four years in US storage with nobody crawling all over it - seems pretty unlikely...! As a minimum you’d expect that a full technical assessment would have been completed to evaluate the design and construction, perhaps more likely with that information feeding into US designs rather than the airframe being flown itself https://airandspace.si.edu/collections/horten-ho-229-v3/
