When Gotha recieved blueprints of the Horte IX design for serial production preparation purposes, the Gotha engineers
saw the potential and problems of that desin; especially the risky aerodynamic design which was born almost direct out of
scientific research. Only low speed designs of flying wings had been tested until that time. Even "conventional" aircraft with
well-known aerodynamics expirienced deadly problems at speed which were expected for the new design.
They developed several projects on the basis of the Go229; the projects P. 52, P. 53 and P. 60 A.
The P. 60 A was a recon plane with a lying crew of two looking through a transparent nose. There was no real fuselage, but
most other components were like in the later B version, which was intended as a night/bad weather fighter with a conventional
fuselage, tandem cockpit, radar in the bow and conventional vertical fins.
This simplified design used He S011 (He109-011) turbojets with 1300kp each instead of BMW109-003A with 800kp each
. The design was recommended to the german ministry of aeronautics RLM, and a final version was drawn; the C version.
The change of performance between the versions is untypically small considering the thrust differences, and my source isn´t
clear which type of engine the C version should use; maybe they could be exchanged.
Unclear remained the use of the engine type and the kind of radar antenna; my source gives each two different infos.
This airplane was always only a project, although a lot of work was done on basic and aerodynamic design.

My comment:
Essentially the same as for Horten Ho IX/Go 229.
The Gotha design had the advantage of being simplier (almost conventional conventional fin layout, easier to replace engines),
but for the cost of smaller performance. Well, that performance disadvantage existed only in comparison to the original
Horten design. As for the 229, there was no really challenger on allied side in sight for several years.
I guess a first flight would have been possible in 1946, profiting a lot by the Go229 flight tests.
And concerning the use of engines and radar equipment; I guess that in 1946 He109-011 engines and radar of the FuG240 "Berlin"
with parabolic antenna and magnetron would have been standard; they were usual for comparable projects in 1945.
