Concept Aircraft : Horten Ho-229 V.7 (1945)

Horten Ho-229 V.7 (1945)

Even as the Horten Brothers were starting construction on their Ho-229A-1 flying wing, plans were underway for more advanced -- and lethal -- variations on their tailless aircraft. One of these was the V-7, which incorporated the advanced radar systems that were only then being installed on Luftwaffe fighters. No V-7's ever made it to the production line.
