Henschel's Hs 132 was a World War II dive bomber and interceptor aircraft of the German Luftwaffe that never saw service.
4 decal variants:
1. Hs-132B, 3./KG53 /alternate marking/
2. Hs-132B V1
3. Hs-132B, 3./StG 3, 1945 /alternate marking/
4. Hs-132B, captured by Americans, 1945 /alternate marking/
The unorthodox design featured a top-mounted BMW 003 jet engine (identical in terms of make and position to the powerplant used by the Heinkel He 162) and the pilot in a prone position. The Soviet Army occupied the factory just as the Hs 132 V1 was nearing flight testing, the V2 and V3 being 80% and 75% completed.
The Henschel Hs 132 was a German low-wing dive prototype bomber from the Second World War. The propulsion was provided by a single jet engine - different depending on the version of the aircraft. Prototype copies of the Hs 132 were built in 1945, but the prototype was never tested, let alone mass production of the aircraft was started. Work on the Hs 132 began in 1943, when the German Ministry of Aviation announced the technical specification for the aircraft to replace the well-deserved, but also more and more well-worn, Ju 87 Stukas. Henschel, adapting to this specification, developed a relatively short plane, with the cockpit placed in the trained nose of the fuselage and the engine on the crest - similar to the He 162 fighter. It was planned to create three versions of the machine. The first is the Hs 132A, which was supposed to be a dive bomber powered by a BMW 003 engine. The second version is the Hs 132B, which is a dive bomber and an anti-tank aircraft. The drive was to be provided by the Jumo 004 engine. Finally, the last version was the Hs 132C, which was to be powered by the HeS 011 engine and had reinforced on-board armament. However, the work on the Hs 132 was significantly prolonged and the first specimen ready for flight did not appear until 1945. The plane never entered mass production.
