Indeed nice. Horten brothers, they were way ahead. ONI, remember about attachments, standard FD template and fonts.

Not particularly. They were neither the first to think of it, test it or built it.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

But they were most successful, Ho 229 was almost pure SF in WWII time.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

But he was still powered by piston engines, 229 was jet fighter. With slightly better aerodynamics and overall better design fuselage.
