    "description": "The Horten Ho 229 was a German prototype fighter/bomber designed by Reimar and Walter Horten during WWII. It was one of the first flying wing aircraft to be powered by jet engines and had several remarkable features, such as being very fast and agile, capable of reaching speeds of up to 977 km/h (607 mph) and of performing tight turns and rolls. It could also fly at high altitudes, up to 15,000 m (49,000 ft), making it difficult to intercept by Allied fighters.\n\nIt was very stealthy, due to its low radar cross-section and its use of a special wood-based material called 'charcoal mixture' that absorbed radar waves. It was estimated that the Ho 229 would have been invisible to radar at distances greater than 80% of its range.\n\nIt was very advanced, incorporating features such as an ejection seat, a pressurised cockpit and tricycle landing gear. It also had a sophisticated weapons system, consisting of two 30 mm cannons and two 500 kg (1,100 lb) bombs.\n\nThe Ho 229 was the only design that came close to meeting the '3×1000' requirement issued by Hermann Göring, the head of the Luftwaffe, for a light bomber that could carry 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) of bombs over 1,000 km (620 mi) at 1,000 km/h (620 mph). However, the project faced many challenges and delays, such as the lack of suitable production facilities, the interference of rival companies, the shortage of materials and fuel and the Allied bombing raids. Only three prototypes were built, and only one of them flew before the project was captured by the American forces in 1945.\n\nThe Ho 229 was a remarkable aircraft that was ahead of its time, and may have influenced many later designs, such as the Northrop B-2 Spirit and the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk. It is considered by some to be the first true stealth aircraft in history. The only surviving prototype, the Ho 229 V3, is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.\n\nFeatures\n\nProduct manual (please read)\n\n18 liveries\n\nNight fighter variant\n\nWooden prototype\n\nCustom flight model\n\n'Wheel barrow' take-off effect\n\nStable at low and high speeds\n\nCustom pilot animations linked to the control stick and rudder pedals\n\nCustom animations\n\nCustom sounds\n\nCustom landing gear animation with wires, pistons and pulleys\n\nCustom gauges (metric)\n\nCustom gauge needle vibrations\n\nEngine flames (toggleable)\n\nEngine heat glow (above 90%)\n\nCustom APU starters and sounds\n\nOpening canopy with custom sounds\n\nCustom decals\n\nCustom cameras\n\nOxygen system\n\nWorking circuit breakers\n\nDetailed Jumo 004 engines\n\nWingtip vortex effects\n\nCustom engine smoke effects\n\nCustom landing gear and flap lights\n\nCustom low fuel lights\n\nWorking pitot and canopy heat (de-ice)\n\nFully VR compatible\n\nWorking sight (hidden by default)\n\nGPS (GNS430), ADF, Transponder, Autopilot\n\nWorking radio navigation beacon indicator\n\nHideable control stick\n\nAuthentic cockpit wear and tear\n\nHighly detailed roughness and normal maps\n\nDimmable red cockpit lighting\n\nRemovable rear engine covers\n\nOptions clipboard\n\nFull checklists for start-up and shutdown\n\nCustom wheel chocks and ladder (parking brakes applied)\n\nGun effects\n\nFlight model should be set to MODERN in the Settings menu.\n\nPilot model is NOT included; it is available as a seperate payware download from GotFriends.",
