The Ho Horten 563 Dragon is a German experimental propeller/jet bomber part of the secret Luftwaffe made at the downfall of the Nazi regime. It was made to make quick decisive blows on key industrial facilities and cities throughout Europe and even America. It's design made it easy to land on rough terrain with gripped tires and high ground coverage, If the plane were to get into trouble the back 20mm cannons would shred the enemy planes to bits, while it could get behind other enemy planes and blow them up with missiles. The plane was equipped with a hefty payload of 2, 2,000lb bombs and four air to ground missiles. The planes were meant to fly in the hundreds and be able to break away and confuse the enemy in mass chaos as the planes sworn, but only a few were made before the surrender of the German army.
