The Heinkel He 114 was a biplane reconnaissance seaplane produced for the Kriegsmarine in the 1930s for use from warships. It replaced the company\'s He 60 but did not remain in service long before being replaced in turn by the Arado Ar 196 as Germany\'s standard spotter aircraft.

Design and development

While the fuselage and flotation gear of the He 114 were completely conventional, its wing arrangement was highly unusual. The upper set of wings was attached to the fuselage with a set of cabane struts, as in a parasol wing monoplane, whereas the lower set was of much lesser span while having approximately the same chord.

Operational history

The He 114 was never a great success, was not built in large numbers, and served with the Luftwaffe for only a short time. While the He 60 had handled very well on the water but been sluggish in the air, the He 114\'s handling while afloat was poor and its performance in the air scarcely better than the aircraft it replaced.

Twelve aircraft were exported to Sweden (where they were designated S-12) and twenty-four to Romania, where the last one remained in service until May 1960.
