                          Heinkel He 111

Heinkel He 111 byl hlavní německý střední bombardér v prvních letech druhé světové války a možná nejznámější symbol Luftwaffe během bitvy o Británii.

The Heinkel He 111 was a German aircraft designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development it was described as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. Due to restrictions placed on Germany after the First World War prohibiting bombers, it masqueraded as a civil airliner, although from conception the design was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a fast medium bomber.

• Wingspan: 22.60 m (74 ft 2 in)
• Height: 4.00 m (13 ft 1½ in)
• Wing area: 87.60 m² (942.92 ft²)
• Empty weight: 8,680 kg (19,136 lb)
• Loaded weight: 12,030 kg (26,500 lb)
• Max. takeoff weight: 14,000 kg (30,864 lb)
• Powerplant: 2 × Jumo 211 F-1 or 211F-2 liquid-cooled inverted V-12, 986 kW (1,300 hp (F-1) or 1,340 (F-2)) each

Performance

• Maximum speed: 440 km/h (273 mph)
• Range: 2,300 km (1,429 mi) with maximum fuel
• Service ceiling: 6,500 m (21,330 ft)
• Rate of climb: 20 minutes to 5,185 m (17,000 ft)
• Wing loading: 137 kg/m² (28.1 lb/ft²)
• Power/mass: .082 kW/kg (.049 hp/lb)

Armament

• Guns:
  • up to 7 × 7.92 mm MG 15 or MG 81 machine guns, (2 in the nose, 1 in the dorsal, 2 in the side, 2 in the ventral) some of them replaced or augmented by
  • 1 × 20 mm MG FF cannon (central nose mount or forward ventral position)
  • 1 × 13 mm MG 131 machine gun (mounted dorsal and/or ventral rear positions)
• Bombs:
  • 2,000 kilograms (4,400 lb) in the main internal bomb bay.
  • Up to 3,600 kilograms (7,900 lb) could be carried externally. External bomb racks blocked the internal bomb bay. Carrying bombs externally increased weight and drag and impaired the aircraft’s performance significantly. Carrying the maximum load usually required rocket-assisted take-off.
