	Heinkel He 178
		The He 178 was built by the German Heinkel company specifically to test fly a pioneering turbojet engine designed by Hans von Ohain.
		Undeterred, Ernst Heinkel led his company in a private development of a twin-engined jet fighter, the He 280, using experience and data gained from the He 178.
		The He 178 was placed in the Deutsches Technikmuseum ("German Technical Museum") in Berlin, where it was destroyed in an air raid in 1943.

		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 German 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.

	Heinkel He 178
		The German-designed Heinkel He 178 recorded in the annals of aviation history as the first aircraft to achieve flight under the sole power of a turbojet engine.
		The He 178, though sometimes a footnote in history, proved to be an amazing test bed, particularly with furthering German turbojet design for the time.
		The metal fuselage of the He 178 was of a simple design, with very little attention to detail in the way of complicated structuring, decals or paint schemes.

		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 He 178 was officially the first aircraft in aviation history to fly solely under turbojet power.
		The He 178 featured a design element that would become standard with several post-war jet aircraft - the open nose air intake extending through to the extreme tail of the design.
		When the He 178 took to the skies on her maiden flight, the intake ingested a passing bird which in effect caused an engine failure, limiting any demonstration for some time despite a safe landing by the pilot.

		La Heinkel se volcó en el proyecto finalizando los esquemas a finales de octubre, mientras que algunos prototipos estaban ya siendo construidos.
		Increíblemente la Heinkel estaba cumpliendo los plazos y para el 6 de noviembre un prototipo del He 162 realizó el primer vuelo del caza, en el cual quedó patente la escasa dureza del fuselaje sufriendo un fallo estructural que no tuvo mayor importancia.

		Following the flight tests of the He-178, in the fall of 1939 Heinkel began serious development of an operational fighter, the "He-280", which was to be powered by twin improved Heinkel engines.

		Heinkel received orders to cease work on research and development, but he decided to keep going, financing the project himself.
		The Heinkel submission won the contract, but it should be noted that this was a modified design of an project that Heinkel had been working on for a few months - the Heinkel's P.1073 "Spatz".

		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.
		Developed from the He 178 the He 280 was the world's first jet fighter and flew in early 1941.
		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.

	Condor 1/48 He-178, review 2
		The He-178 V1 utilized a flush-riveted, metal monocoque fuselage, wooden wings with ailerons and flaps skinned in metal, and was designed for a retractable main undercarriage, although for all tests the aircraft used a fixed undercarriage with the wheel wells faired over with metal.
		Estimated top speed for the He-178 was listed at 435 mph, but the highest speed reached during testing was only 362 mph, as the engine was never tested to its limits.
		The He-178 V2, a high-altitude version with a pressurized cockpit and longer wing span was being prepared when Hitler told Heinkel to direct his attention to the twin jet-engine fighter He-280 and all testing of the He-178 V1 was suspended.

		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.

		Whittle had been a poor boy of the English midlands, scrambling his way up the meritocracy; von Ohain was the son of a wealthy merchant, and, to the end of his days, appeared a refulgent, deeply charming and contented scientist.
		Whittle did not gain friends easily until he was sure of their honesty; von Ohain was lucky in working for Heinkel, bully though he was, because, when money was essential for the project, Heinkel was rich enough to give it.
		The outcome was the Heinkel 178 prototype; destroyed in the middle of the war by an RAF raid on Berlin.
