In 1935 Henschel developed the parasol-wing Henschel Hs122 short range reconnaissance aircraft as a replacement for the Heinkel He 45 and He 46, but although a few of the 492-kW (660-hp) Siemens SAM 22B-engined aircraft were built, the Hs 122 was not adopted for Luftwaffe use. From it, however, Henschels chief designer Friedrich Nicolaus derived the Henschel Hs 126 which incorporated a new wing, can¬tilever main landing gear and a canopy over the pilot’s cockpit, the observers position being left open.
