Horten Ho 229 Flying Wing Fighter-Bomber

The Horten Ho 229, the world's first tailless flying wing jet fighter-bomber. Its stunning and unique appearance makes it hard to believe it was an aircraft designed and built between 1943 and 1945.

Historically, the Ho 229 v2 prototype crashed after several brief test flights and never entered mass production before the end of World War II. The Ho 229 v3 prototype was captured by the Allies and is currently housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

• Main structure
• Separate engines
• Simple panel lines
• Simple part breakdown

I spent a long time modeling this, then I saw a "peace-promoting" paper airplane in a fighter competition. I felt my hobby was tainted and found it repulsive. Suddenly, I lost the motivation to continue.

It took me a week to sort out my feelings, and with encouragement from the comments, I decided to continue perfecting it.

• Changed part printing orientation to improve surface quality
• Optimized fastening methods to minimize pin usage
• Redesigned the cockpit canopy
• Added more details
• Added a matching stand
• Fixed internal manifold errors

Thanks to the support from friends in the comments section, which enabled me to complete this project.

Finally: Those who express political views, please get out of this community. You think yourselves noble, but you are childish. 3D printing is merely a pure hobby, do not pollute it with your disgusting political views.

We recreate weapons to appreciate the beauty of their design, the world will not become peaceful through your advocacy.

A quick reminder: good bed adhesion is essential for a successful print.
Make sure your material and temperature settings are correct, and clean the build plate regularly.
Bambu Lab Liquid Glue for Build Plate is a great way to ensure reliable results.
