The Proposed Twin HeS 011 Tailless Delta

by Dr David Myhra, Mario Merino (Illustrator)

Overview

It was Hitler’s eagerly anticipated twin jet Heinkel-Hirth HeS 109-011 powered tailless medium range bomber project. Capable of carrying one 2,205 lb bomb 621 miles at 621 MPH. By 1943, nearly everyone in the Air Ministry, including Luftwaffe officials, had come to the conclusion that Heinkel’s 177 long-range bomber, though a design success, was an engineering failure. This is one of the proposed designs that was never put into production. World class digital images by Mario Merino show what the finished product could have been. Enjoy!
