Heinkel He 64

The Heinkel He 64 was a German civilian sports plane of Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke.

It was developed in 1932 for the Third International Europe flight, a flight competition in which a 7500 km long track in the shortest possible time should be completed. For this reason, particular set great store by lightweight construction and optimized aerodynamics. The aircraft was designed as a cantilever low- wing monoplane of wooden construction. When suspension is still used a rigid standard suspension. The drive was realized with an Argus As 8, an air-cooled four-cylinder inline engine with 150 hp. The two-man crew sat behind each other with closed cabin covers. In contrast to the expected value, which was estimated at six days, He needed the 64 for the competition flight only three days.
