And as a followup to the post on the Horten Ho-18A, here’s the equivalent image of the B model. This design moved the engines to the underside, alongside some very quaint-looking “spats” for the fixed landing gear.

The spats:

The engine/spats arrangement was a outgrowth of the Horten IX glider design; see near the top of this webpage: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/aircraft-requests/horton-brothers-flying-wings-3618.html
I don’t know what the intended giant jet engines were; they are certainly a lot larger than the He S 011’s shown in the one drawing.
Junkers-Jumo 014’s?
