There was a documentary on the history channel about this plane several years ago. Hitler ordered it built in order to be able to take the A bomb that they were developing to New York. Then they realized its stealth capability. After the war we captured it with other technology and brought one here.
It was warehoused at the Air and Space Museum facility at Dulles and Lockheed engineers stumbled upon it and realized what it was, taking inspiration from it.
i’m far too suspicious to actually read the article.
But you guys should consider this...this thought that is screaming inside my brain. Why is the national geographic so interested in stealth technology from nazi germany?
Um, i know, I know, I know...
Because they are equating stealth technology and for that matter ALL military technology that gives america any meaningful tactical edge as being the same as nazis.
Do you think obama should keep spending money on stealth tech? Or defensive missile shield tech? Well, then you must be a nazi. National geographic says so.
here's a pic lifted from the web:
On the other coast, at an airshow in Chino, CA (roughly 5 years ago, I guess) I got to see on of those small scale versions of Jack Northrop's flying wing... they had restored it to operation and it was flying. Really amazing.
