That's at least what they say in this National Geographic documentary:
"To determine once and for all whether the Ho 2-29 had stealth capabilities, experts first examined the surviving 2-29 and probed it with a portable radar unit based on World War II radar tech. Then, in the fall and winter of 2008, they set about building the full-scale re-creation at a restricted-access Northrop Grumman testing facility in California's Mojave Desert. The construction team embraced historic materials and techniques, and the Horten 2-29 replica, like the original, is made largely of wood and bonded with glue and nails. Unlike the original, however, the replica wasn't built to fly, though it did soar, after a fashion. The new craft's body was constructed around a rotor, which allowed the replica to be manipulated atop a five-story-tall column. There, in January 2009, the craft was subjected to World War II-style radar." http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...ter-plane.html 3D model: http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...-fighter-3942/ Enjoy mates.
