It was inspired by Ernst Heinkel's emphasis on research into high-speed flight and built on the company's experience with the He 178 jet prototype.
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).
Heinkel was ordered to abandon the He 280 and focus attention on bomber construction, something he remained bitter about until his death.

 German Jets of the Second World War
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.
The He 280 was roughly similar to the Me 262 in design as both aircraft were sleek, twin-engined, mid- or low-winged aircraft with the armament logically concentrated in the nose.
Major redesign work was necessary to adapt the He 280 to the larger and heavier Jumo engines, to include a stretch of the fuselage to increase fuel capacity, an enlarged wing and replacement of the twin tail with a single tail.

The He-280 was designed with room for operational equipment such as guns and radios that the earlier jets didn't have.

As a result, Heinkel's 280 joined the He-100 and He-112 as fighters that were superior to what was currently being used, but not built thanks to politics!
