There are many rumors surrounding the Horten Ho 229, also known as the Gotha Go 229. It seems to be confirmed that it had a certain stealth ability compared to radar, but this was probably more a result of chance than the designers' intention. The question of whether it would be used as a bomber or fighter has also not been clarified beyond doubt.
In any case, the aircraft had such innovative features that tests were carried out with a mock-up of the Ho 229 even in 2009.
