why do retards think germans invented flying wings?

Because they're retards and the heckin based Germans must have been the most advanced nation evar

>>63945375 (OP)
you already know why they do, and are just making this thread because you crave attention

>>63945375 (OP)
Desperate washed up fags who want there to be some upside to the third reich's slaughter of its own people. 3 million German teenagers died for some cool planes, sure.

>>63945375 (OP)
because they're retarded, what kind of question is this?

>>63945375 (OP)
? What kind of retarded logic is that? A wing can't be flying if it isn't flying. Birds are flying wings, insects are flying wings, whoever made something that can fly using a wing, created the flying wings.

because they did

good morning saar you are misunderstanding the english thank you have a nice day come again

> The first true flying wing aircraft is generally considered to be the Horten H.IV, developed by the Horten brothers (Walter and Reimar Horten) in Germany during the early 1940s.
> While many argue that the first true flying wing was the N-1M, it has several features that disqualify it from being a pure flying wing, including small vertical fins and a distinct central fuselage section that interrupts the seamless wing design.
> Another possible candidate for the first true flying wing could be the Horten H.III, which introduced advanced control systems like drag rudders and eliminated traditional tails, though it still featured some vertical surfaces that prevent it from being considered a fully pure flying wing."

As a wehraboo you are not allowed to use pepes. You are only allowed to use apus. Because you are retarded just like apu.

>>63945576
oh I'm sorry
did I hurt your feelings by stating literal facts?

>>63945566
So if this chatGPT frogposter is to be believed, the YB-35, YB-49, and subsequently the B-2 can trace their lineage directly to Northrop's work rather than Horten's due to the vertical surfaces present on the former two? Thanks frogposter.ai

>>63945652
> the B-2 traces it's origins directly to the Northrop planes because the YB planes have vertical stabilizers
anon ...

>>63945659
do you have a problem with extrapolation, toadman?

SAME FAGGOTS.

>>63945659
>>63945652
but adding to this:
yes the YB-35 and YB-49 are more in line with Northrops work because they are no true flying wings
flying wings with vertical stabilizers were already around in the early 1930s, way before Northrop built his first ever flying wings (unless you count the Experimental No.1 lol)

>>63945664
> extrapolation is when you say that a flying wing without vertical stabilizers traces it's true origins to flying wings with vertical stabilizers because it was made by the same company (45 years later)

I honestly thought Kalinin or Cheranovsky were first. Possibly Arup too.

>>63945695
I would say the flying wing strategic bomber with a wingspan of 172 ft 0 in built by Northrop owes a lot more of its lineage to a "false" flying wing strategic bomber with a wingspan of 172 ft 0 in built by Northrop instead of some gay nigga single seat bullshit done by some krauts

>>63945705
>Kalinin
Based knower. I have no clue what those guys were on when designing aircraft.

>>63945709
> some gay nigga single seat bullshit done by some krauts
ironically both the Ho 229 and the proposed H.XVIII were much closer to the crew size of the B-2 than the YB-planes

also it looks like they did take quite some inspiration from the Go 229 after all (picrel)

>>63945705
don't know about Arup but weren't those soviet ones all goofplanes? Like with italy "inventing the first jet"?

>>63945838
For Kalinin? Yeah. Imagine them as being a Soviet Kel-Tec for airplanes. Though one of their wings was proposed to be a bomber.

Cheranovsky was a bit more serious and was looking to eventually develop flying wing fighters and light bombers, including a turret fighter.

Arup was American and he thought that flying wings were the way of the future for safe, efficient air travel, though his designs had a full tail.

>>63945375 (OP)
Because it’s about the aerodynamic knowledge behind it. Just making a plane without a tail is easy (and in most cases they weren’t even tailless to begin with like Northrops's designs) but understanding said aerodynamics behind it + other shit like lower radar cross section is what made the Germans stand out.

>>63945375 (OP)
Why they didn't invent them they were the first to use jets which fit inside the wing instead of adding huge cowlings.

What's it like being a nigger without a dad and not having literally dad jokes?
