Another Airplane Idea(more realistic)

[TheletterR]

I went to the new Air and Museum the other day(for the second time)
and I saw one of the Ho aircraft the Germans were developing during WWII(they're the ones that were shaped like an obtuse iscosoles triangle) And then I went home and saw a documentary about concept German aircraft and it was in the episode. So I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool to fly one of those!" that's when it hit me. I could fly one on FS!

It would have to be capable with FSX(it's all I have )
that's all it needs to be(and of course be able to fly)

You're talking about Horten designs, but I'm not sure what one you're talking about.  There are several ones they designed.  See if you could find a picture.  That would give people a better idea of what you're talking about.

Ok here's a good picture of one, don't know which kind it is though...
(it wouldn't really matter as long as it looked similar)

Look for the Northrop N-9M by Tim Conrad, same design

Take a look at the Ho229, right here at SimV:

I saw a history channel thing on those...  Meant to be able to get from germany to Newyork with a full load of bombs and back again without refueling. (Of course i doubt that they had mid-air refueling back then). But yes, a nicer way to put it than

ones that were shaped like an obtuse iscosoles triangle

Is "Flying Wing"  I beleive that boeing tried to make a commercial Airliner shaped like a flying wing.  Obviously it never worked out, but The design was clearly and most effectively put to use in the B-2 by Northrop. I'll see if i can find the wikipedia article on the boeing flying wing and i'll edit the link in later

Boeing is still researching a Blended Wing Body along with NASA.  Technically it isn't a flying wing, its a blended wing body  It is thicker than a flying wing and much much bigger than any flying wings.

Interesting fact about the B-2, Northrop's YB-49 has the EXACT same wingspan as the B-2: 172 feet.

i heard that boeing had officially named the BWB the 797, which means they have plans for building it after they finish the 787
