Made for Movie Flying Wing
The Nazis attempt to transport the Ark from Tanis to Germany via this airplane. Following an attempt by Jones to board it, it is destroyed in an explosion. It is a fictional prop, based on historical Northrop Corporation designs and drawings by Ron Cobb of the Horten Ho 229. It also appears to have some inspiration, however subjective, from the Arado E.555/1 six-jet (BMW 003s, like those used on real-world Heinkel He 162A Spatz) long-range, jet-powered flying wing bomber design of late 1944.
