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.

 Info about the Heinkel He-162 Salamander Volksjager German Jet Fighter
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.
The difficult terms of this complex equation were entirely solved by Heinkel, although the disastrous conditions that existed in Germany during the final months of the war actually prevented the ambitious production program from being carried out.
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.

Heinkel initially assigned the number He 180 to this project, but this was changed by the RLM to He 280, because it conflicted with the Bü 180.

 Heinkels Over Japan
Researching the origins of such uncharacteristic markings for the IJNAF (in that naval units usually carried their unit markings/codes on the tail surfaces only), it was discovered that the Germans had carried out this method of subterfuge on the He-100 ("RAF Flying Review," January 1963, p.49).
No less than seven types of Heinkel aircraft were imported by Japan and tested.
The third is a He112B in flight taken from below with seemingly red tailplanes and what may be hinomarus on the undersurface of the wings (photo is not vbery clear and the undersurface of the wings are shadowed and barely visible).
