The Horten Ho 229, a German experimental tailless aircraft, successfully landed at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport on runway 15. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 140.0° at an altitude of 217 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 77 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 647 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and stability.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle headwind of 8 knots from the northwest. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, and the rollout was equally impressive, with the aircraft tracking straight down the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,468 feet was only 29% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had made efficient use of the available space.
One area for improvement noted in the report was the threshold speed, which was slightly higher than desired at 90 knots. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall success of the landing. Overall, the landing was a testament to the capabilities of the Horten Ho 229 and the skill of the pilot involved.
