The He 100 was a beautiful looking aircraft, and supposedly had a fairly incredible performance as well. Such a shame so little solid information about it has survived.

I think it has similarities in design to the MiG-3 If you imagine the cockpit a little further aft...

The He-100 was far ahead of it's time flight-characteristics wise.

Unfortunately the overly complicated and easy to damage cooling system doomed the project, sadly.

this is heinkel 112


heinkel also use jet enjine and is fast plane.
TEST jet enjine



HEINKEL 112 V5 and V3



this secret and rare photo

similar machines were also designed by the Soviets with Lavochin La-7 and the MiG I-250

The La-7 was the only Soviet fighter to shoot down a Messerschmitt Me-262, by Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub on one occasion over Germany on February 15, 1945.

http://www.flymig.com/pilots/ivan.ni...h.kozhedub.htm

On February 19, 1945, 1 was on a lone-wolf operation together with Dmitry Titorenko to the north of Frankfurt. I noticed a plane at an altitude of 350 meters (2,170 feet). It was flying along the Oder at a speed that was marginal for my plane. I made a quick about-face and started pursuing it at full throttle, coming down so as to approach it from under the "belly." My wingman opened fire, and the Me-262 (which was a jet, as I had already realized) began turning left, over to my side, losing speed in the process. That was the end of it. I would never have overtaken it if it had flown in a straight line. The main thing was to attack enemy planes during turns, ascents or descents, and not to lose precious seconds.

That looks like a rocket engine, not a jet.

...and German rocket engines sucked big time - think of the Me163.

I know its far out, but the KI-61 does look werry simulare to the HE-100. The Japanese did get 3 of them...and here is a small part of the story

*************************
wikki
The Japanese were also looking for new designs, notably those using inline engines where they had little experience. They purchased the three D-0s for 1.2 million RM, as well as a license for production and a set of jigs for another 1.6 million RM. The three D-0s arrived in Japan in May 1940 and were re-assembled at Kasumigaura. They were then delivered to the Japanese Naval Air Force where they were re-named AXHei, for "Experimental Heinkel Fighter".[2] When referring to the German design the aircraft is called both the He 100 and He 113, with at least one set of plans bearing the later name.

In tests, the Navy was so impressed that they planned to put the aircraft into production as soon as possible as their land-based interceptor; unlike every other armed forces organization in the world, the Army and Navy both fielded complete land-based air forces. Hitachi won the contract for the aircraft and started construction of a factory in Chiba for its production. With the war in full swing in Europe, however, the jigs and plans never arrived.[2] Why this wasn't sorted out is something of a mystery, and it appears there isn't enough information in the common sources to say for sure what happened.
************************************************** *******

Personaly i belive the Japanese used the HE-100 as template for the construction of the KI-61. They had the license for the engine, was not sure how to implement it, looked at the HE-100 construction and createt the KI-61

That is my opinion...not any historical fact...

found this pretty ok arthicle about the KI-61
