A design straight from Hitler’s heart: Horten 2-29 stealth fighter recreated

The mind of one gifted genius, be it a very evil one, unleashed a war on the world unlike anything else before or after it and while Adolf Hitler and his barbarous Nazi regime ended decades, the heaps of secret documents and the vast technological progress that its army made as early as in 1940’s still is being uncovered. Part of this exercise was the recreation of the Horten 2-29, a fighter plane that the Nazis designed to go undetected by the radars and would have surely changed the course of war had it been perfected and mass produces.

The latest recreation based on the last surviving Ho 2-29 and the Nazi blueprints gave experts this little beast that you see and designed to attain a maximum speed of 600 miles an hour and armed with four 30mm cannons and two 500-kilogram bombs, the Ho 2-29 was just averted in time by the Allied forces before it could spring to action. There was a reason why in early 1940 the German army was considered the mightiest on the planet and its wars were a mater of ‘blitzkrieg’… Such technology couple with the mind of their Fuhrer!
This is one design that even the ‘generally hard to please’ Hitler would have been proud to claim as his own…
