Transcription

Development

The sole He 57 (factory designation HE.57) was built by the Ernst-Heinkel-Flugzeugwerken at Warnemunde in 1929.[1] It was displayed at the Paris Aero Show in December 1930 and at the Stockholm International Aero Show in May 1931.[2] It was purchased by the flying school at List auf Sylt who used it as a trainer.[1]

Design

The double stepped hull was made of aluminum. The wings used wood spars and aluminum ribs with fabric covering. The landing gear was hydraulically raised with a manual pump.[2]
