The Fastest Salamander

Heinkel 162 Volksjäger

A forgotten and remarkable Warbird

One of the classic examples of the German aircraft manufactures innovative and unorthodox World War II designs is the Heinkel He 162 Volksäger (People’s Fighter), also known as the Salamander. Although, the plane is often labeled as ugly, I like its small, sleek and sporty design.

The plane was designed in Germany’s desperate late war years. Incessant allied bombing made the development and production of cheap and effective bomber interceptors to become paramount. Therefore, the cheap (partially wooden), simplistic, little fighter was born.

What was revolutionary about the aircraft was firstly its use of an axial flow BMW 003 jet engine in a time when jet fighters were exceptionally rare and most notably the position of the engine. Unlike most airplanes throughout existence, the He 162 had its engine mounted on the top of the fuselage. To make room for the jet exhaust the fighter had a twin tail arrangement as the empennage, with the elevators sloped upwards. It was of a tricycle gear arrangement like all jet fighters to come, and had iconic anhedral wingtips similar to those on the TSR-2 and C172. In classic interceptor fashion, the little plane screamed through the early jet age skies at 560 mph, packed a punch with 20mm and 30mm cannons, had a rocketing rate of climb at +4,500ft/min, all of which were traded off with a flight time of only 30min.

The early jet age’s experimental and unconventional aircrafts are entertaining to learn about, because they were designed in a time when there was not yet a standard jet fighter blueprint. This made room for science fiction and unorthodox designs that captivate any airplane admirer’s eye. This was before billion dollar military contracts and dwindling aircraft manufacturers, created the conservative design strategies we see today. Although many find the He 162 unattractive, a true aviation enthusiast must be able to find beauty in its representation of the beginning of a brief, but adventuresome decade of imaginative and avant-garde jet airplanes that enthrall the imagination to this day. Imagine the designs and advances we would see today, if the modern aircraft industry was as bold and open as it once was sixty and seventy years ago.
