It was quite a surprise to me that this legendary name is now used by an German general aviation manufacturer... And they actually do have a direct connection to Dr. Reimar Horten, the father of the flying wing. Check out "our history" at their home page ;)

Nice. Any idea what it cost?

Also very true (spanwise loading of flat items (Batteries) - as extracted from their website) :
The design of the airframe makes it easily adaptable for installing new propulsion technologies we anticipate will become available in the future.
 
Beautiful! Thank you VTOLicious for the post. Been a fan of flying wings for a long time. Such an efficient design cries out for battery power which is nice to see as being part of their future design brief.
 
awesome, welcome back. hope its renamed Ho-2
 
That is a very attractive aircraft! Glad to see Prof. Horton's work acknowledged and carried on.
