Very intriguing WWII German jet.
Which model is it and did the Germans put many into production?

Flying wing aircraft are inherently unstable on all 3 axis. It requires fly by wire controls to make them work. So the German model was never put into production.

That’s the HO-229 they’re restoring at the Smithsonian near Dulles airport in DC. Pretty bird.
