history speaks on Instagram: "The Heinkel He 162 A-2 "Salamander" was a German single-engine jet fighter fielded by the Luftwaffe in the final months of World War II.The He 162 was the only production aircraft designed to use the BMW 003 (specifically variants like the 003E-1 or E-2) as its standard engine. BMW engineers had to redesign the engine's mounting system because it was uniquely placed on top of the fuselage, rather than inside or under the wings. #luftwaffe #bmw #thridreich #GermanEng
