Heinkel produced three different designs of the P.1078 for the OKL Emergency Fighter competition in 1944. The Heinkel He P.1078A was a single-seat fighter armed with two MK 108 30mm cannon in the nose. The shoulder-mounted gull wing was swept back at 40 degrees, and was powered by one HeS 011 jet engine located beneath the cockpit and exhausting under a central tailboom

Hi!
2As outlined in Luftwaffe project documents, Heinkel designed the P.1068 to evade enemy interception through speed and altitude, incorporating swept wings and multiple jet engines. Initial versions featured two engines, similar to the Ar 234, but tests suggested that four- and six-engine variants would provide better range and payload capacity.
According to Heinkel Flugzeugwerke’s internal reports, the P.1068 was seen as a viable alternative to existing jet bombers, with advantages such as:
  • Higher speeds (+80 km/h over the Ar 234)
  • Improved bomb load capacity
  • Greater operational flexibility due to multiple engine configurations
By December 1943, Heinkel handed over scaled-down 1:2 models of the P.1068 to DFS for aerodynamic testing. These tests focused on flight stability and wing sweep effects, confirming the design’s viability. However, as the war situation deteriorated, the project was sidelined, and its technology was later considered for Heinkel’s Strabo 16 and He 162 developments."
