Open in interactive gallery →See aircraft like this on the live radar →

The Horten H.XVIII (18) was a proposed German World War II intercontinental bomber, designed by the Horten brothers. The unbuilt H.XVIII represented, in many respects, a scaled-up version of the Horten Ho 229, a prototype jet fighter. The H.XVIII was one of many proposed designs for the Langstreckenbomber, and would have carried sufficient fuel for transatlantic flights.
