Horten Ho 229 - Provflygning

[Razor]

Det förekommer uppgifter på WWW om att USA lät provflyga Horten HO 229 efter kriget medan andra uppgifter motsäger detta. Vad är egentligen sant?

Prototypeen V 3 - skeppades till USA......

men på amerikansk provflyning tror jag inte....däremot pysslar man med restaurering av den....

A Horten glider and the Ho 229 V3, which was undergoing final assembly, were secured for sending to the United States for evaluation. On the way, the Ho 229 spent a brief time at RAE Farnborough in the UK while it was considered whether British jet engines could be fitted, but the mountings were found to be incompatible[5] with the early British turbojets only using centrifugal compressors with their larger-diameter compressor sections, and not the slimmer axial-flow turbojet powerplants the Germans were using[clarify]. The Americans were just starting to create their own axial-compressor turbojets before the war's end, such as the Westinghouse J30, with a thrust level only approaching the BMW 003's full output.

Survivors[edit]

The only surviving Ho 229 airframe, the V3 — and indeed, the only surviving World War II-era German jet prototype still in existence — has been, until very recently, at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Paul E. Garber Restoration Facility in Suitland, Maryland, USA. In December 2011, the National Air and Space Museum had moved the Ho 229 into the active restoration area of the Garber Restoration Facility, and it is currently being reviewed for full restoration and display.[6] The central section of the V3 prototype was meant to be moved to the Smithsonian NASM's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in late 2012 to commence a detailed examination of it before starting any serious conservation/restoration efforts[7] and has been cleared for the move to the Udvar-Hazy facility's restoration shops as of summer 2014, with only the NASM's B-26B Marauder Flak Bait medium bomber directly ahead of it for restoration.[8]

Inte riktigt en provflygning, men ett försök att bedöma om Ho 229 hade stealthegenskaper.
