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.
