I've watched the documentary Hitler's Stealth Fighter and it provides valuable insights into the question of whether the H IX/Ho 229 would have been invisible to radar had it gone into production and service sooner. The commercial and military BWB transport studies of the 1990s and early 2000s are a different matter because they focused on the possibility of using tailless aircraft to carry either passengers, freight, or soldiers (one Boeing BWB design study in the early 2000s envisaged a BWB tanker aircraft as a potential replacement for the KC-10 Extender), but it should be noted that the 131 foot span Horten H VIII (originally designed as a long-range maritime strike/reconnaissance aircraft with four or six Junkers Jumo 210 piston engines) was reworked into a transport aircraft by the Hortens after World War II when the Hortens were interrogated by the British. Two H VIII-derived Horten flying wing airliner designs were also envisaged, a gigantic six-engine passenger flying wing with a whopping 262 foot span and a 70-100 ton passenger airliner with a 157 foot wingspan and four piston engines.
