The 212 Solo is made from carbon fibre and was derived from the ATEC 321 Faeta and ATEC 122 Zephyr 2000 designs. Its 7.48 m (24.5 ft) span wing employs an SM701 airfoil and slotted flaps. Standard engines available are the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 two-stroke and the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant. [1] [2]
The follow-on series to the He 219As in service was to be the He 219B fitted with the new 1,864 kW (2,500 hp) Junkers Jumo 222A/B 24-cylinder engines which would have allowed the He 219 to reach 700 km/h (440 mph). The He 219B was also to have had an increased span of 22.06 m (72.38 ft), for better high altitude performance.
