The Heinkel HE 162, also known as the 'Volksjäger' or 'People's Fighter,' was a remarkable jet-powered fighter aircraft that soared into the skies during the final months of World War II. Designed and built rapidly in late 1944 under the Emergency Fighter Program, this aircraft was a testament to innovation and desperation, aiming to turn the tides of war with superior speed and agility. Powered by a BMW 003 turbojet engine, the HE 162 boasted impressive performance, capable of reaching speeds up to 840 km/h (520 mph). Its lightweight design, primarily using wood in its construction, was a strategic choice to conserve critical materials. Despite its late entry into the war and limited operational use, the HE 162 captured the imagination of aviation enthusiasts and historians alike, symbolizing the last gasp of the Luftwaffe's efforts to defend the Third Reich with cutting-edge technology. Its legacy lives on as a fascinating chapter in the history of jet aviation.
