The Heinkel He 177 is a long-range heavy bomber used by the Luftwaffe during World War 2. It has a very wide wingspan and heavy payload, which needed engines of atleast 2,000 hp.
Because of its inaccurate horizontal bombing, it was also used as a dive bomber, as a heavy bomber. But as the engines were prone to catching fire, it was nicknamed "Flaming Coffin", and because of the weight of the plane, dive bombing was a very hard thing to do.
