The Horten Ho IX V1 was followed in December 1944 by the Junkers.
Göring believed in the design and ordered a production series of 40
aircraft from Gotha Waggonfabrik with the RLM designation Ho 229
fitted with A brake parachute slowed the aircraft upon landing. The pilot sat on an advanced ejection seat.
Reimar Horten said he mixed charcoal dust in with the wood glue to absorb electromagnetic waves (radar), which he believed could shield the aircraft from detection by British early warning ground-based radar
There are reports that during one of these test flights the Ho IX V2 undertook a simulated "dog-fight" with an Messerschmidt Me 262. It is stated that the Ho IX V2 out performed the Me 262.
