Description

The strategic jet bomber "Horten Ho XVIII A" fly over Manhattan in 1947 during the nazi occupation of the United States. Picture taken form an escort jet fighter. The picture is classified - military use only. The Horten Ho XVIII was a proposed German World War II intercontinental bomber that would have been based upon the Horten Ho 229 design. Like the Ho 229, it would have retained the stealth capabilities of the previous design, as well as a large fuel capacity, which would allow it to fly across the Atlantic Ocean both ways without refueling. The A model of the Ho XVIII was a long, smooth blended wing. Its six jet engines were buried deep into the wing and the exhaust centered on the trailing end. The flying wing was made of wood and carbon based glue, making it a stealth aircraft. Aircraft TOTALLY modelled in Bryce 4 using the terrain editor, with custom textures based on the 3d model. Rendered in Bryce 4 and composed in Photoshop. Comments and rates are welcomed! :)

That's a fantastic piece. Making it B&W is a good touch to enhance that "look and feel" of WWII era photos. It's scary how plausible the idea of an aircraft like this could have been!
