Bottom Note

"Northrop N-9M (United States) and Horten Ho 229 (Nazi Germany) are the first propeller-powered and jet-powered flying wing-stealth aircraft in the world, respectively."

While being the first flying wing aircraft is true, it is irrelevant to the topic of stealth aircraft, and neither of them are stealth aircraft, contrary to the note. ThatOneDoge (talk) 06:14, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stealth technology?

A jet-powered flying wing design such as the Horten Ho 229 has a smaller radar cross-section (RCS) than conventional contemporary twin-engine aircraft because the wings blended into the fuselage and there are no large propeller disks or vertical and horizontal tail surfaces to provide a typical identifiable radar signature.

The Ho229 was not a stealth aircraft 12.13.17.154 (talk) 19:10, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reimar Horten claimed that one of them was, although the specimen at the Smithsonian is an earlier one which was not. Meanwhile the Northrop was an aerodynamic prototype with no regard for stealth per se. Best if the whole note goes - which I have now done. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 07:42, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is Indonesia manufacturer of KAI KF-21 Boramae? Shouldn't it be removed from the list? -- Iri1388 (talk) 16:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
