[For actual]
The Ho-229 Fighter Bomber, also known as the Go-229, was the first tailless flying wing jet fighter bomber developed by Nazi Germany in history.
The Ho-229 fighter bomber was one of Nazi Germany's doomsday weapon designs, designed by the Horton brothers with a mixed metal and wood structure, manufactured and tested by the Gotta Locomotive Works.
The Ho-229 fighter bomber developed three prototypes, the first of which was an unpowered glider used only for aerodynamic verification and research. It was burned down after Germany's defeat. The second and only powered test aircraft that successfully flew into the blue sky was destroyed during its third test flight.
Therefore, only one unfinished prototype V3 aircraft remains on display at the National Air and Space Museum in the United States.
(Note: This aircraft is often mistakenly referred to as Go-229 due to manufacturer reasons, but the German Air Force designation is confirmed as Ho-229)
