The Horten Ho 229, also known as the Ho IX or Gotha Go 229, was the world’s first operational jet aircraft designed with a flying wing configuration. Developed by the visionary Horten brothers, it was intended as a high-speed fighter-bomber capable of outperforming Allied aircraft. Powered by twin Jumo 004 turbojet engines, the Ho 229 could reach speeds approaching 1,000 km/h – an extraordinary feat for the 1940s.
