  Heinkel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

The Heinkel He 177 was a 4-engined long-range World War 2 bomber of the Luftwaffe.
The twin-engines had first been introduced on the Heinkel He 119 to reduce drag where they worked trouble-free, but their tight installation in the He 177 led to considerable problems.
Though Goering forbade Heinkel to develope a four engine version, Heinkel did anyways, leading to the development of the Heinkel He 274 and the Heinkel He 277 which had separate engines in the more commonly seen fashion.

Even before the war it was becoming apparent to some aircraft designers that propeller driven aircraft were nearing the limits of their possible performance.
With the world speed record smashed by the Heinkel He 100 and shortly after by the Me 209 it was clear that no matter how much power a piston-engine plane possessed it could only approach the speed of sound, an entirely new method of propulsion would be needed to achieve greater performance.
The world's first jet fighter, the Heinkel He 280, took the air on March 30, 1941 in a flight lasting just three minutes - this was a scant six weeks before a specially built Gloster plane (E.28/39) flew using Frank Whittle's turbojet design.

The German manufacturer Heinkel maintained chief engineering responsibility for development of all aircraft escape systems, throughout the war, and by late 1942 all German experimental aircraft being flight tested were equipped with some form of Heinkel ejection seat.
The rocket-powered Heinkel He-176 (the world’s first rocket propelled aircraft) featured a nose section which could be jettisoned in the event of an emergency.
Although Schenck’s was the first known use of an ejection seat for emergency egress, the Heinkel compressed air driven seat used by Schenck was purportedly tested in an experimental ejection from a test aircraft by a Heinkel employee named Busch, prior to Schenck’s 1942 ejection.
