Heinkel He 118

Two-seat monoplane dive bomber, a sleek aircraft with a quasi-elliptical wing. The He 118 was larger and more refined than its competitors, with an internal bomb bay and retractable landing gear. But the He 118 could not safely exceed a diving angle of about 50 degrees, while the Ju 87 could be dived vertically. Of the 13 built, two were delivered to Japan, were they influenced the design of the D4Y. The He 118 is best known for its role in the testing of jet engines.
