We must note in passing that the Horten brothers had developed a special revetment for their Ho IX, made of glue, soot, and charcoal powder, making this already furtive machine practically undetectable with radar.

As you know from examining the Horten at the Garber Facility (I think it might be this one, the Horten’s wings are removed (or were never attached to begin with), which allows viewers to see a cross-section of the body’s construction. You can see that the “fuselage” of the plane is made of some sort of a plywood or laminate. Sandwiched in between the plywood layers is a dusty black layer which I think is the substance in question.

Here are some much better photographs, but unfortunately none are detailed enough to show the laminate. It’s located just below the outer skin on the fuselage.

I think that earlier wingless photo I linked might be a different plane, because somehow the Smithsonian got hold of a set of wings as well.
