  Heinkel Aircraft Works
Ernst Heinkel, founder of Heinkel Aircraft Works, was born in the German province of Swabia in 1888.
Heinkel set up a small factory that built electrical equipment, but he was eager to return to building airplanes.
Heinkel entered the field of jet propulsion through his acquaintance with the physicist Robert Pohl of the University of Gottingen.

However, Heinkel had already been working on a series of "paper projects" for light single-engine fighters over the last year under the designation P.1073, and had gone so far as to build and test several models and conduct some wind tunnel testing.
I./JG1 was transferred to Parchim, near the Heinkel factory at Marienehe, where the pilots could pick up their new jets and start intensive training beginning in March, all while the transportation network and fuel supply of the Third Reich was collapsing under the pressure of Allied air attacks.
The Heinkel and its pilot were lost as well, shot down by a RAF Hawker Tempest while on approach.

 The Heinkel He-162 Volksjaeger
Their Volksjaeger concept was a neat, sporty-looking little aircraft, with a sleek streamlined fuselage; the BMW-003 engine carried in a nacelle on the back of the aircraft; twin tailfins, to clear the jet exhaust; a high-mounted straight wing with a shallow dihedral; and tricycle landing gear that retracted into the fuselage.
Final assembly was to be at the Heinkel plant in Marienhe, the Junkers plant at Bernberg, and in the infamous SS underground slave-labor factory near Nordhausen in the Harz Mountains, known as "Mittelwerk (Central Works)".
Heinkel also built two prototypes of the "He-162S" tandem-seat training glider, in accordance with the lunatic scheme to provide pilots for the fighter using Hitler Youth.

 Heinkel III Bomber
German twin engined bomber the Heinkel III of the Luftwaffe shown in aviation art prints of the Heinkel III during the Battle of Britain by leading aviation artists Ivan Berryman and Anthony Saunders published by Cranston Fine Arts.
The German medium bomber the Heinkel HE 111 was the primary medium bomber of the Luftwaffe during the opening years of World war two.
It is August, and the height of the Battle of Britain: Heinkel 111 bombers have attacked airfields and radar stations along the south coast, and a frantic dog-fight has developed as Me109s of JG-52 clash with Hurricanes of the RAFs No. 32 Squadron.

 Heinkel He 176 Luft '46 entry
All design work for the Heinkel He 176 was done in Sonderentwicklung I, a department that was kept isolated from the remainder of the Heinkel factory at Rostock-Marienehe.
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).

Heinkel also provided the Luftwaffe's heaviest operational bomber, the Heinkel He 177, although this was never deployed in significant numbers.
Heinkel was less successful in selling fighter designs - before the war, the Heinkel He 112 had been rejected in favour of the Messerschmitt Bf 109, and Heinkel's attempt to top Messerschmitt's design with the Heinkel He 100 failed due to political interference within the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM - Reich Aviation Ministry).
In 1939, the Heinkel He 176 and Heinkel He 178 became the first aircraft to fly under liquid-fuel rocket and turbojet power respectively, and Heinkel was the first to develop a jet fighter to prototype stage, the Heinkel He 280.

 Heinkel He P.1078C Luft '46 Entry
The Heinkel He P.1078C had a short, squat fuselage (all metal construction), which contained the single He S 011 jet engine.
A single Heinkel Hirth He S 011 turbojet was mounted in the fuselage rear, and provided 1300 kg (2866 lbs) of thrust.
After all aircraft designs were submitted for the Jägernotprogram (Emergency Fighter Program), some criticism was made of the Heinkel He P.1078C design, mainly concern was expressed about the unprotected fuel tanks in the wings and the short fuselage shape, which in their opinion made it ill-suited for high speeds.

 Heinkel
Heinkel was selected by the rapidly expanding Luftwaffe to adapt the He 70 and He 111 for military use as bombers, the latter becoming the mainstay of later German bombing campaigns.
At wars end Heinkel was prohibited from manufacturing aircraft, instead turning to the manufacture of bicycles and motor scooters as a means of providing work for thousands.
Heinkel’s foray into car manufacture was brief, and made under adverse conditions, which is what makes them so highly prized today.

In fact, the number of variants of the Heinkel He 111 reads like a book index.
The variants came, and went using the letters of the alphabet, and a number of experimental or temporary versions were given the letter "V".

Twin-engined Heinkel He 111P aircraft, code G1+FR, was from the 7th Staffel Unit, Kampfgeschwader 55 and based at Villacoublay in France and on a sortie to attack the Great West Aerodrome (Heathrow).
A piece of the Heinkel was recently passed to me from my father who had been given it by my grandmother who received it from my great aunt who lived in Worthing during the war.
A Heinkel 111 from the same squadron (and with the same target of Heathrow), was also shot down later that same day and crashed at Annington Farm in Bramber.

 Automobiles and aeroplanes: Heinkel - 4Car Feature - from Channel 4
Heinkel, established in 1922 by former Nansa-Brandenburg engineer Ernst Heinkel, is usually associated with the planes it built for the German Luftwaffe, though it also built mail planes and passenger airliners for the Lufthansa airline prior to World War II.
Heinkel battled against arch-rival Messerschmitt for many Luftwaffe contracts, and like Messerschmitt, it found itself in a perilous position post-war with all aircraft-building activity banned in Germany.
The car's popularity was boosted by its reduced rate of road tax (£5 a year, compared to £12 10s for a normal car), and by the fact that it could be driven on a provisional or motorcycle licence.

 Info about the Heinkel He-162 Salamander Volksjager German Jet Fighter
One of the first proposals to meet this requirement was the Heinkel He-P 1073, which was a turbojet fighter project to be powered by an HeS 011.
Since Heinkel was already evolved a similar project some months earlier, a design proposal was quickly drafted and submitted to the Technical Office within a matter of days.
When the first prototype took to the air from Heinkel's field at ViennaSchwechat, a structural failure was revealed (due to the breakage of one of the covers of the landing gear housing) probably caused by a welding error.

 hellsing: OMG, Mad Guensche/Heinkel Theory!
If Heinkel is the only human (other than Major, if he's human) to whom he feels a bond, than danger to her might be the one thing he couldn't take--or perhaps the one thing that can redeem him from monsterdom and make him care again.
Heinkel might have a larger part to play yet...but I don't think it is because of any design of anyone that is part of Millenium.
Heinkel is a German surname (Hirano taking some liberties by using it as her given name) and so is Wulf/Wolfe.

 The Heinkel He-162 Volksjäger
The Heinkel He-162 could be built by semiskilled labour out of non-strategic materials.
The first of many prototypes flew on the 6th December 1944 (the prototype crashed four days later) as a shoulder-wing monoplane of largely wooden construction but fitted with tricycle landing gear and a tailplane with vertical surfaces so that the single turbojet could be mounted in an easy maintenance position above the fuselage.
The engine was used in Heinkel He-162A, Arado 234B jet bomber and the Messerschmitt 262 jet fighter.

 Axis History Factbook: Heinkel He 162 Salamander / Volksjäger
However, Heinkel had been working on a similar concept for several months, and was able to respond quickly with a proposal with the company designation P.1073.
Heinkel lobbied harder and won the competition at the end of September, and was awarded an order for 1,000 Volksjaegers to be delivered by April 1945, with production ramping up to 2,000 fighters a month in May. The program was named Salamander, though Heinkel gave the aircraft itself the name of Spatz (German for "sparrow").
Final assembly was to be at the Heinkel plant in Marienhe, the Junkers plant at Bernberg, and in the infamous underground slave-labor factory at Nordhausen in the Harz Mountains, known as Mittelwerk.
