Heavy Night Fighter Walter, Reiner and Wolfram began designing and building their flying wing gliders as early as the 30s as teenagers. In 1944, they won the 3x1000 Fighter-Bomber Competition. In December 1944, the prototype made successful flights. The construction was housed in the Klemm and Gotha aircraft companies under the official name No-229A. Gotha managed to build 6 prototypes when in April 1945 the American army captured all copies. The night fighter was one of the versions of the No-229, which could be used as a training aircraft. Engine - 2xJumo 004, estimated speed - over 1000 km / h, ceiling 15800m, armament with 4 Hs 298 missiles or 4x30mm cannons.

    @Airlancashire I will say this, I did not do it myself, I took a ready-made one because I needed to make a Horten Ho-229B night fighter and it was a two-seater and it was hard to stretch the usual go-229 model for one more pilot, so I made a single-seat night fighter.

    @Airlancashire If you do go-229, then achieve perfect balance, it can be a little difficult, but it works.I also asked this question until I read the history of the creation of go-229.So try to do as I told you.
