FSX Heinkel He-178 Updated The Heinkel H-178 was the world's very first jet aircraft, whose maiden flight took place on August 27, 1939, just before the outbreak of WWII. It was a very small aircraft but reached a top speed of well over 400 mph, more than any fighter at the time. However, it naver made it to mass production, because the Ministry of German Aviation didn't consider it a useful weapon as it was too small and didn't have a long-range capability. So after some test flights the program was abandoned. The package, originally designed for FS 2002 by the team of Geocities/thedrachensnest, features a completely re-designed VC and 2D panel as well as FSX compatible smoke. It includes two models, a prototype and a fictional (what if?) repaint. Credit to the team mentioned above for the original model.
