An interesting foot note to the Horten projects.
The designers of the B2 bomber ran into problems with the design of that aircraft. They were compelled to take a look at what was left of the Horten flying wing in storage at the national arcives. What ever the problem was, after studying the the Horten aircraft for a few days the engineers went back to work on the B2. The rest is history!
