Gotta love RSS feeds, I found this really random one earlier from a while back, not sure when it was posted but anyways!…

Before the rest, there’s an interesting link about this and the documentary that it comes from. Check out the link here.

So this is the stealth fighter that was designed during the second world war, but it arrived too late to make it to production, probably a good thing.  According to tests that were done, this was the result they gave :

The team tested the re-created Nazi jet against World War II-style radar. With its radar-resistant design and 600-mile-an-hour (970-kilometer-an-hour) speed, the team concluded, the Ho 2-29 would have allowed British antiaircraft forces only 9 minutes to respond, versus 18 with a conventional World War II fighter.
