FLYING WINGS:
The Horten-brothers built 44 diferent flying wings during WW2.
Most of them sailplanes.
The most interesting was Ho 9 (Ho 229), jet-powered wing.
There is one at Smithsonian (Horten Ho 229 V3).
In January 1945 the Germans wanted to build Ho 18 "America Bomber".
They wanted to use this aircraft to drop the German atomic-bomb
over New York.
