Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Horten Ho229, then departed from runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The takeoff distance was 994 feet, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 78 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 123 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 3 knots, but no headwind. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,443 feet above sea level to 39,340 feet, an increase of 37,897 feet, in 12 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began overhead CT44 Ripley Field in Litchfield, Connecticut, and lasted for 92 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 799 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles southeast of KSET St Charles County Regional Airport/Smartt Field in St Charles, Missouri.

Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229, a German experimental tailless aircraft, has successfully landed at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) on runway 08R. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 75.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 485 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with precision, as the aircraft touched down on the runway with a perfect alignment.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was above the target speed of 87 kt, indicating a controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 768 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 76 kt was well within the desired range. However, the touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 71°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was minimal, contributing to a stable and controlled approach. The total landing distance of 1,771 feet was only 25% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing.

The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the aircraft's stability and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the Horten Ho 229 demonstrating its capabilities in a controlled and precise manner.
