what do mean by horton 229 and describe its Stealth technology briefly?”
The Horten Ho-IX (often called Gotha Go 229 or Ho 229 due to the identity of the chosen manufacturer of the aircraft) was a late-World War II prototype flying wing fighter/bomber, designed by Reimar and Walter Horten and built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik, and has been described as the first aircraft designed to incorporate stealth technology.[1] It was a personal favorite of German Luftwaffe chief Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, and was the only aircraft to come close to meeting his “1000, 1000, 1000” performance requirements. Reiman Horton said he mixed charcoal dust in with the wood glue to absorb electromagnetic waves (radar), which could have shielded the aircraft from detection by British early warning ground-based radar known as Chain Home. This application was tested by Northrop-Grumman in early 2009 and found to have been successful, reducing the radar cross-section by 20%.
