They brought their experience in this field into a special unit which, as Sonderkommando 9, was responsible for the development of tailless all-wing aircraft. The development of the machine known as the Horten Ho IX, equipped with two BMW 003A-1 jet engines began in 1942. Whereas the first machines could only be made as gliders due to difficulties with the jet engine, the second prototype received a Jumo 004B-1 engine. In 1944 the V2 made its first flight reaching speeds of over 780 km\/h. The production of the Horten was transferred to the Gothaer Waggonfabrik and the designation was changed to the Go 229. The first machine from the Gothaer Waggonfabrik, the Go 229 A-O V3 received a Jumo 004-C engine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Revell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54073013829955,"sku":"04312","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/8477\/7795\/files\/revell-172-horten-go-229__57441_1.jpg?v=1768039872","url":"https:\/\/stocktonmodeller.co.uk\/products\/revell-04312-1-72-horten-go-229","provider":"Stockton Modeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
