Northrop designed the N-9M in the early 1940s resulting from a wartime contract to create a long-range bomber. Jack Northrop believed in the flying wing design to reduce drag, create lift and improve the overall performance of aircraft. The Northrop N-9M made its first flight in 1940 and before its retirementin 1945 it under went several hundred hours of flight testing at Muroc Dry Lake Bed (later Edwards Air Force Base). There were only four prototypes made during the aircraft's development. The program was cancelled and 3 of the 4 were scrapped. The remaining airframe ended up in a scrapyard in the desert until Planes of Fame rescued it some 30 years later in 1982 and it was restored to flying condition and participated in many air shows.
On April 22, 2019 the pilot lost control and the only surviving N-9M (N9MB) crashed into the California Rehabilitation Center prison yard in Riverside County, California. The pilot was killed and the aircraft totally destroyed.
