Heinkel He. 217 B
high-speed attack fighter, the period of the great war, produced in 1944-1947. At that time, it was 1942, the war that began in 1940 continued, but on a much more horrific scale than that, the Rhone Empire lost all its attacking potential, and it only remained for it to defend, knowing that it would be difficult to rely on ground forces in defense, the general staff of the Ronsky Armed Forces decided to start a competition in which several companies had to create a completely new aircraft that could destroy ground equipment and infantry, as well as effectively shoot down enemy aircraft. Three companies participated in the competition, namely Heinthin, Antonio-Wulf, Nicholaschmitt. The deadlines were tight, all companies worked without stopping, their designers tirelessly created their masterpieces, and some have already begun to create prototypes. Prototype Heinthin was an unusual design, as if a drop was spreading across the glass, and an elongated narrow fuselage. Prototype He. 217 was a real breakthrough of the Rhone aircraft industry, given its unusual construction of the fuselage, the wings, thanks to their arrangement, made it possible to squeeze out maximum maneuverability not inferior to biplanes in which the radius of the bend was very small. The plane showed its best side in all the battles that it participated in, every time He.217 appeared in the air, the enemy troops hid in terror in terror, not a single fighter could knock him down, or even just get six to him, very quickly Heintkhin’s pilot reacted and turned around in an instant towards the enemy and quickly cracked down on him with his four 20-mm autocannons with a total ammunition of about 600 rounds. In total, about 1,700 aircraft were released during the war, which destroyed the enemy every time he noticed him.
