Horten Ho-III

In 1938 the Hortens set up a facility at Berlin's Tempelhof Airport, where they constructed the Ho III sailplane. This was in effect a scaled-up Ho II, and was fitted with a retractable tandem-wheel undercarriage. Four Ho Ills were built, one of which was fitted with an engine, the propeller blades folding in flight to reduce drag.
