How the Nazis Designed a B-2 Stealth Bomber Way Before the United States

Even though he holds the title of most evil man in history, Hitler made some impressive weapon advancements during WW2 and one of them even rivaled a modern-day US military bomber. Check out how the Nazis developed a B-2 Bomber design decades before the Americans in today's epic new video!

Lazerpig actually did a good video on how this wasn't the case and how the Horton brothers were more or less conartist.

[jayburn]

The Horton was not a stealth plane, full stop. This was even tested.

[clintparsons]

Imagine what kind of cool aircraft they are using now that we won’t find out about for like 50 years when it’s obsolete, anyway.

[justarandomanimegirlpassin]

imagine NASA creating an invisible airplane that would be so sick yet actually quite terrifying

The Horton Brothers was not the first to experiment with Flying Wings, it was Northrop whom was experimenting with flying wings....LONG before the Horton Brothers.

Therefore, the B2 Bomber has nothing to do with the Horton Brothers's Flying Wing.

[michaelwilliams]

You're missing some very key points. Such as Jack Northrop was already well into the flying Wing design even before world War ii. Northrop by the way is the makers of the B-2 bomber. Sure, German technology was helpful but, Northrop was already on the path.

It is quite of a stretch to call the Horton a stealth plane... It is more or less a modern reimagination of the concept by visual "similarity. I mean look at it flying wing design or not it has engine air intakes the size of a barn in the dead front. It is anything but a stealth plane.

[carozan]

Sorry to spoil the fun, but actually, no, they didn't build the worlds first stealth bomber. There's a really good video by a guy called Lazerpig which gives the reasons as to why. I'd advise checking that out instead.

[FranciscoPartidas]

That is not just true. Northrop was working with flying wing concepts years before horten brothers. A prototype of a flying wing bomber was almost completed the same year than horten, but war almost ended and US government chose to invest in proven technologies.

[Kitkat-]

This was not a stealth aircraft. It was not designed to be invisible to radar, it was just a happy accident that its profile and wood construction reduced its radar signature. Also, the B-2 had little to do with the German flying wing. They were two entirely different aircraft, the idea of a flying wing predates both such aircraft.

[christopherjustice]

This actually isn’t true. The plane isn’t a stealth bomber. It just slightly looks like one.

[Infiltrator_]

Unfortunately this video isn’t entirely accurate and it isn’t true. They did not develop the first stealth plane.

[CoasterGaming]

Lazerpigs video on it is pretty good too btw

[JonathaninEssex]

It's not called 'The Battle of England'. It's The Battle of Britain.

[roblockhart]

More like how the horten bros designed gliders, which led them to propelled gliders, then eventually light aircraft that resembled their aforementioned flying wing gliders. Resemblances are purely coincidental. How do we know this? Because Jack Northrop was doing exactly the same thing, arguably, before them. The Horten bros 'stealth' bomber was no more a true stealth bomber than Jack Northrups YB-49 was. Else, the US would've pursued tech what would decades later become a trillion dollar industry.

[nikoloso]

Just because it is a flying wing design doesn't mean it's a stealth bomber, Jack Northrop was working with those before Germany and his company went on to make the b-2. The 2 are pretty unrelated

Just to let you know Infographics u helped me overcome my depression!

[yourtechweekeveryweek]

This channel really provides a lot of insight on what didn’t happen in history

Dropping in on this video faster than a nuke from the atmosphere. 💣
