He 280 GERMAN WWII EXPERIMENTAL FIGHTER
1/48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT ProfiPACK
#8068
INTRO
Heinkel He 280 was the worlds first jet fighter. It was a single seat, double engined jet fighter, with nose type landing gear and an ejection seat. The first nonpowered flight was on September 22nd, 1940, and the first flight with HeS 8a engines was March 30th, 1941, The He 280 was introduced to RLM officers three days later. The V3 prototype was flown on July 5th, 1942. The V1 prototype was later tested with Argus As 014 engines, also used as the V1 missile engine. During these trials, the pilot had to use the ejection seat to leave an out of control aircraft due to heavy iceing on the aircraft. It was the first ejection in history. The V2 prototype was tested with JUMO 004 engines. V7 and V8 were used as gliders for new tail designs and high speed research. Altogether, 9 prototypes were built, which of them 3 were jet engined powered. The project was stopped in 1942 because the Me 262 had priority. Wing span 12,00 m

ÚVODEM
He 280 první proudový letoun na světě, jednomístný dvoumotorový stíhací letoun s příďovým podvozkem a pneumaticky vystřelovanou sedačkou pilota. První letové zkoušky prototypu He 280 V1 se uskutečnily bez motorů 22. září 1940, ve vleku za bombardérem He 111. První samostatný let s proudovými motory HeS 8a proběhl 30. března 1941 a po třech dnech byl předveden zástupcům RLM. Prototyp V1 později rovněž sloužil k testování pulsačních motorů Argus As 014. Dne 13. ledna 1942 ztratil pilot nad strojem kontrolu a poprvé v historii letectví použil k jeho opuštění katapultáže. Na jaře 1941 vzlétl prototyp V2 (GJ+CA), poháněný motory HeS 8a, který byl následujícího roku zkoušen i s motory Jumo 004A. Vzlet třetího prototypu V3 (GJ+CB), s motory HeS 8a, se uskutečnil 5. července 1942. Průběh zkoušek poznamenaly potíže, při kterých pilot musel dvakrát nouzově přistát, stroj však vyvázl bez vážnějšího poškození. Pravděpodobně vzniklo devět prototypů, z nichž tři prokazatelně létaly s vlastním pohonem. Další letouny V7 a V8 sloužily také jako kluzáky k testování nových ocasních ploch. Do ostatních prototypů, se plánovala instalace nejen motorů HeS 8b, ale i BMW 003A-0 či Jumo 004A. Další vývoj byl zastaven a pro sériovou výrobu upřednostněn Messerschmitt Me 262.

He 280 V2, GJ+CA, March 1943
On March 30th, 1941, the first flight of the second prototype took place. Heinkel test pilot, Fritz Schäfer, piloted the aircraft. The engines of the aircraft were HeS 8a. It was the first flight of turbojet-powered aircraft designed, from the very beginning, as a fighter plane. At the beginning of 1943, the aircraft was modified; it got Jumo 004 turbojet engines. On March 16th, 1943, the plane conducted its first flight with these engines. The aircraft was painted RLM 02, which was used by Luftwaffe for prototypes, and it bore the crosses on six positions – on the upper sides and undersides of the wings and on the sides of the fuselage. Stammkennzeichen of the aircraft was on the undersides of the wings and on both sides of the fuselage. Marking of the second prototype was on the left side of the fuselage.

He 280 V3, GJ+CB, July 1942
On July 5th, 1942, the third He 280 V3 prototype took off; it had the HeS 8a engines. On February 8th, 1943, the right engine failed during the take off and the pilot had to perform an emergency landing into the field. Fortunately, the plane did not suffer any major damage. On the left side of the fuselage there was a marking identifying the third prototype – V3.

He 280 V8, NU+EC, July 1943
The eighth Heinkel He 280 prototype was first test-flown on July 19th, 1943. The plane had Jumo 004 engines. In the meanwhile, the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium – The Ministry of Aviation) had come to a decision to stop further development and tests of He 280. The 280 V8 was transferred to DFS (German Research Institute for Sailplane Flight), which was focused on an aerodynamic research for future designs of fighter planes and other combat aircraft. This colour and marking of the aircraft was no different from established paint of the prototype planes. It had been painted RLM 02 and marked with crosses and Stammkenzeichen on usual positions of the aircraft.
