ALIEN TECH: The Nazi Flying Wing The US HID For 80 Years (It Inspired the B-2 Stealth)

You thought the Jagdtiger was the biggest secret? Think again. Deep in a secret US hangar sits the German aircraft that looked like it was pulled straight from the 21st century: the Horten Ho 229.

Dubbed the world’s first "Stealth" jet, this radical flying wing design terrified the Allies. It was meant to be Hitler's Wunderwaffe (Wonder Weapon), capable of flying higher and faster than any Allied fighter.

When the US captured the nearly complete prototype (V3) during Operation Paperclip, they immediately classified its existence. They didn't just hide it from the public—they hid it from their own engineers until they could fully understand its revolutionary design.

Why did the US bury the prototype of the Horten Ho 229 for nearly 80 years?

The Blueprint for the Future: We reveal the direct technical link between the Ho 229's "all-wing" structure and the American B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber.

The Secret Coating: Did the Horten brothers incorporate radar-absorbing materials that made it the first true stealth aircraft?

Captured by GIs: The unbelievable story of how US troops discovered the V3 prototype hidden in a rural German barn.

Cold War Advantage: How this single Nazi jet gave the US a decades-long lead in strategic bomber technology over the Soviet Union.

The story of the forgotten Jagdtiger paved the way, but the story of the hidden Ho 229 reveals the foundation of America's modern air superiority.
