Horten Gotha Prototypes 24.1 and 24.13

Two fighter prototypes that never took flight. The Horten brothers envisioned a single seat aircraft smaller than Go-229's impressive design. However, the manufacturer insisted on building prototypes to secure government funding, but the debate remained unresolved at war's end. The uncertainty surrounding available jet engines presented a challenge - either a twin engine setup with BMW engines or a single Heinkel engine-powered version. This led to proposals for a 4-point undercarriage system, featuring two in-line wheels along the center line and two smaller "training wheels" at the wingtips.
