| Both civil and
military versions of the Heinkel He. 111 have been built. The military
version illustrated, powered with two Daimler-Benz liquid-cooled motors,
each developing more than 1,000 h.p., has flown over a course of 621
miles with a load of 2,205 lb. at a speed of 313 m.p.h. The Daimler-Benz
is a 12-cylinder inverted Vee liquid-cooled motor which normally develops
950 h.p., but which has been boosted to give about 1,970 h.p. for
record-breaking purposes. The civil version of the Heinkel He. 111
carries a crew of two and ten passengers for a range of about 900
miles at a cruising speed of 220 m.p.h.; the maximum speed is 255
m.p.h. Fully loaded the machine weighs 18,920 lb. and the wing span
is 75 ft. 2 in. |
