Yeah that is a Horton Ho-229. Think it is in storage at one of the American museums (think there was a video of it posted here somewhere).
Yeap that is the Ho-229.

Stored at National Air and Space Museum Paul Garber facility in Silver Springs,
Maryland. It has, however, been moved to a better climate controlled building. It's significance isn't lost on the museum - just so many airplanes
but only so much money and manpower.

That is what I thought they should at least move it somewhere it won't rust so bad
The aircraft is mostly made of wood.
I do think they need to fix her up and put her on display. She is a once in a lifetime aircraft to see.

It was first the Horten Ho IX V-3 and then the Horten 229 and it were to be called the Gotha 229 one it became official and start full scale production. So yes all of them are in some way correct.
