The Horten H.IX, RLM designation Ho 229 (or Gotha Go 229 for extensive re-design work done by Gotha to prepare the aircraft for mass production) was a German prototype fighter/bomber initially designed by Reimar and Walter Horten to be built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik late in World War II. It was the first flying wing to be powered by jet engines.

That's a pretty wing.
I recommend reducing the power and drag (with XML) to get your acceleration more in line. Other than that there's no other real criticism I can give this build (WHICH IS GOOD!), love everything else about it!
