Horten Rocket Wings - SWARM! |
|
ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
|
Germany's Horten Brothers are credited with being some of aviation's earliest champions of the "flying wing" concept. In addition to designing both propeller- and jet-powered flying wings, the Brothers Horten developed plans for an advanced fighter powered by twin rocket motors. Discovered by the Allies in the waning days of WWII, these plans never got beyond the initial design stages, yet even in their crude, undeveloped state suggested a plane that -- if built -- would have been one of the most elegant and beautiful ever to take to the skies. |
Produced in 1:72 for Fantastic Plastic Models by Anigrand Craftswork, this unusual rocket-powered flying wing model was based on original documentation provided by Michael Schratt, who also provided the data for our USAF 40-Foot Flying Disc. Featuring full landing gear, a vacuform canopy and a pilot figure, the kit is currently available through the Fantastic Plastic Virtual Museum Store. |
