This aircraft paper model is a Horten H.XVIII, a proposed German World War II intercontinental bomber that would have been based upon the Horten Ho 229 design, the papercraft created by RocketmanTan.
Like the Ho 229, it would have possessed similar stealth characteristics, as well as a large fuel capacity for transatlantic missions. Based on data from the 229 design, experts have estimated the H.XVIII would have been able to evade radar detection until it was within eight minutes of the east coast of the United States, making allied interception prior to payload delivery highly unlikely.
However, given the abilities of the allies to decode Enigma machine messages, it is questionable whether such a mission could be planned or launched without their knowledge. Once that happened, simple countermeasures might reduce the ability of the Horten H.XVIII to achieve its objectives. H.XVIII's design is the source for the design of HYDRA's futurist bomber aircraft in the movie Captain America: The First Avenger. For more infomation of the H.XVIII please click here.
