| The Horten Ho VI, only one prototype of which was built, had a wing with the very high aspect ratio of 32.4 to 1, which proved to be structurally weak and too flexible for practical ground handling.

Chris Christiansen, e-mail, 24.12.2014 18:49 Keeping goutou's observation in mind, I'm trying to imagine the HO 6 being constructed in structural composites that would vastly improve the weaknesses of the design. World-beater, anyone ? reply | goutou, 21.06.2011 04:48 which proved to be structurally weak and too flexible for practical ground handling. reply | gery, e-mail, 24.10.2009 11:51 Ho IV
