The Gotha Go 147 was a German test aircraft with a tailless design.
With this project, the Gothaer Waggonfabrik joined the numerous tests with tailless aircraft in 1936 . August Kupper was in charge of development . The aircraft was designed as a braced gull wing - shoulder- wing aircraft with rigid landing gear. The rudder unit was attached to both wing ends. An As 10 C with 240 hp served as the drive . The crew consisted of two men seated one behind the other. It was built only one copy, which the mark was D-IQVI. A version Go 147 B was planned , which should be used as a weapon trainer because of the free field of fire to the rear. However, only the test copy of the A version was built.
