The Horten brothers only made gliders, Gotha took over and made an experimental plane that flew a bit but it crashed killing the pilot, Gotha started to make another experimental plane that was never finished, the problem is even if it was earlier Germany had no good jet engines, they would have had to use the unreliable Jumo engine as used in the Me 262 and over 1,400 Me 262`s were made but only about 200 ever flew. Shortages of pilots also meant that no plane could have made any difference.
