The Nuking of Japan

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY! XD A_T really does look constantly pissed off. XD


I DID actually forget to mention the Ho-229 as being the forerunner to modern stealth aircraft. It wasn't remarkably stealthy but for its time it was cutting edge...and in all likelihood inspired modern stealth designs. Maybe not designs like the F-117 but certainly designs like the F-22 and F-35 JSF...and DEFINITELY it was a heavy influence on the design of the B-2 Spirit.

Jack Northrop, the founder of Northrop aviation( builder of the B-2) had been experimenting with all wing designs starting in 1929. Well before the Horten brothers.

In fact at about the same time the Horten 229 was being built, Northrop was building this....
