Henschel Hs 132

The Henschel Hs 132 was a World War II dive bomber and interceptor aircraft of the Luftwaffe that never saw service. The unique design featured jet power and the pilot in a prone position. The Berlin Charlottenberg B9 built by DVL proved the advantages of the prone position, and as result the Hs 132 was developed. The design feature allowed a very small profile and increased pilots' tolerance to high acceleration turns. Initially intended as a dive bomber, an interceptor version (Hs 132B) to attack enemy bombers equipped with two 20mm MG 151 cannons was proposed as well. Russia overran the factory as the Hs 132 V1 was nearing flight testing.
