  Ernst Heinkel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ernst Heinkel (January 24 1888 - January 30 1958) was a German aircraft designer and manufacturer.
Heinkel had been a critic of Hitler's regime from the time that he had been forced to sack Jewish designers and staff in 1933.
At the end of the war Heinkel was arrested by the Allies but evidence of anti-Hitler activities and his treatment by the regime led to his acquittal and he was allowed to go free, although his company (along with the rest of Germany's aviation industry) was initially forbidden to produce aircraft.

The Heinkel He 178 was the world's first aircraft to fly under turbojet power, and the first practical jet plane.
It was a private venture by the Heinkel company in accordance with director Ernst Heinkel's emphasis on developing technology for high-speed flight and first flew on August 27, 1939 piloted by Erich Warsitz.
Nevertheless, Heinkel was undeterred, and decided to embark on the development of a jet fighter, the Heinkel He 280 as a private venture using what had been learned from the He 178.

Heinkel's representative protested that their proposal was being evaluated by standards other than those applied to the other proposals to the detriment of Heinkel's proposal.
Heinkel had been working on a simple and unsophisticated jet fighter, the Spatz (Sparrow), since the early part of the summer and had even test-flown the BMW 003 in July to obtain necessary performance data.
Heinkel had nearly carried the day, but it wasn't until two aerodynamicists were consulted that the partisans of the P.211 were finally defeated.

 Heinkel He 111 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heinkel He 111 was the primary Luftwaffe medium bomber during the early stages of World War II, and is perhaps the most obvious symbol of the German side of the Battle of Britain.
In the early 1930s Ernst Heinkel decided to build the world's fastest passenger plane, a lofty goal met with more than a little scepticism by the German aircraft industry and its newly evolving political leadership.
It was only a matter of time before they turned their attention to developing a larger and more powerful twin-engine version of the Blitz, producing a plane that had many of the Blitz's features – including its elliptical wing with a reverse gull-wing bend, small rounded control surfaces, and BMW engines.

 ERNST HEINKEL FACTS AND INFORMATION
Ernst Heinkel (January_24 1888 – January_30 1958) was a German aircraft designer and manufacturer.
After Adolf_Hitler came to power, designs by Heinkel's firm formed a vital part of the Luftwaffe's growing strength in the years leading up to the Second World War.
In practice, this meant that Heinkel was detained until he sold his controlling interest in his factories to Hermann_Göring.

 Deutsches Museum - Archives - new acquisitions
Ernst Heinkel (1888-1958) began his engineering career as a designer with the Johannisthal aviation company and later worked for the Albatros Works, the Hansa- and Brandenburg Aircraft Works and the Caspar Works.
The materials acquired from son Karl-Ernst Heinkel are from Ernst Heinkel's private and business papers, including correspondence with the Third Reich's Aviation Ministry (1938-44) and the Heinkel offices in Berlin (1927-44) as well as biographical documents, drafts of the biography of Heinkel entitled "Stormy Life" and legal papers in connection with the de-nazification process.
In total, the Heinkel archive has a length of about 35 meters, which makes it clear that much has been lost, in particular the company photographic archive, which encompassed over 1 million photographs but was removed to Austria during the war and then vanished.

The Heinkel He 111 was the main Luftwaffe bomber during the early stages of World War II, and is perhaps the most obvious symbol of the German side of the Battle of Britain.
Developed from a pre-war airliner design the He 111 was a medium bomber produced in high numbers throughout most of the war.
It was only a matter of time before they turned their attention to developing a larger and more powerful twin-engine version, producing a plane that had many of the Blitz's features – including its elliptical gull-wing, small rounded control surfaces, and BMW engines.

The company's first great success was the design of the Heinkel He 70 high-speed mail-plane and airliner for Deutsche Luft Hansa in 1932.
The type broke a number of air speed records for its class and was followed by the Heinkel He 111.
Following the war, Heinkel was prohibited from manufacturing aircraft and instead built bicycles, motorscooters, and a microcar, the Heinkel Trojan.

Heinkel might have won the competition had the B model been available in early 1936, but by the time they were ready in the second half of the year the 109 was already in series production.
In the Heinkel system —designed by Jahn and Jahnke— the engine was run at 110 Celsius and the superheated fluid was then sprayed into the interior of a centrifugal compressor, allowing the pressure to drop and steam to form.
Heinkel had decided to build a total of 25 of the planes one way or the other, so with 10 down there were another 15 of the latest model to go.

 1956 Heinkel Kabine
Aircraft designer Ernst Heinkel saw the Iso Isetta, and decided that he could do one better, using aircraft principles and making it lighter yet faster with a smaller engine.
A license to build the Heinkel was also sold to Argentina, where some 2000 examples were sold until 1961.
This, combined with the death of Heinkel in January 1958 and the resumption of aircraft production, necessitated the sale of the entire Kabine production facility to the Dundalk Engineering Company in Ireland in June of 1958.This idea was short-lived, however, as quality probems with the Heinkel-I became evident.

Tests were conducted with a wooden cockpit mockup dropped form a Heinkel He 111 from an altitude of between 6000 to 7000 meters (19685 to 22966 feet).
The first official flight of the Heinkel He 176 V1 was on June 20, 1939 flown by Flugkapitän Erich Warsitz.* On the next day, June 21, the He 176 was demonstrated in front of some of the RLM leaders (Ernst Udet, Erhard Milch).
The prototype aircraft stayed under wraps for years at the Heinkel factory at Rostock-Marienehe, but was eventually crated up and sent to the Air Museum in Berlin, where it was destroyed in an air raid in 1944.

It was inspired by Ernst Heinkel's emphasis on research into high-speed flight and built on the company's experience with its He 178 jet prototype.
Nevertheless, Heinkel was forced to accept that they would have to use a competitor's engines, and selected the BMW 003.
Unfortunately, this engine was also experiencing problems and delays, and in the meantime, the second He 280 prototype was re-engined with Junkers Jumo 004s while the next three airframes were earmarked for the BMW motor (which, in the end, would never be ready before the end of the He 280 project).

However, its BMW VI engine gave it a top speed of almost 199 mph (320 km/h), which was in keeping with its true role as the forerunner of the first fighter to serve with the Luftwaffe upon its official formation in April 1935.

 The Birth Of Jet Power   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Heinkel was a successful engineer with many companies trying to secure his services, but his developing obsession with speed led him into the new and exciting field of jet propulsion.
Heinkel was entrigued by a young engineer by the name of Hans von Ohain, who was working on gas turbine engines for aircraft, similar to the work Whittle pioneered.
With Heinkels support von Ohain developed the HeS 3B turbojet engine that powered a He 178 monoplane to the first jet powered flight in 1939- the jet age had begun.

 MPM 1/72 Heinkel He-100
The Heinkel He-100 is a sleek fighter design that was developed to compete as a higher performance aircraft against the Messerschmitt Bf-109.
Ernst Heinkel's intention was also to develop such an excellent fighter that its capabilities and performance would overwhelm anything else it's competitors had to offer, and the German hierarchy would have no choice but to award him the contract.
Handling deficiencies encountered during testing of the prototypes eventuated in the development of the Heinkel He 100D with enlarged tail surfaces and with a conventional, semi-retractable ventral radiator in place of the earlier enclosed system.
