A high-altitude reconnaissance bomber, developed from the Hs 128, the A-06 and A-07 pre-series aircraft had a wing span of 29m, and turbosupercharged DB 605 engines. They could reach 15500m.
The Hs 130E-0 was powered by two 1750 hp Daimler-Benz DB 603A engines, which were supplied with air by a compressor, driven by a 1475 hp DB 605T. This configuration was known as ‘HZ Anlage’. This aircraft was capable of attaining 16,500 m / 54,000 ft.
Five HS 130 pre-production E-0s and probably three E-1 production aircraft were completed before 1944 when the programme was cancelled.
One E-1, W.Nr.130082 BD+KA, was tested by a crew from the Versuchsverband at the Henschel plant at Berlin-Schonefeld late in 1944, but crashed on 17 December 1944 killing all on board.
