This second design of the He P.1078 was a tailess, single-seat fighter
that had a somewhat unusual cockpit arrangement. The cockpit was located
in a gondola on the port side, and another gondola containing two MK 108
30mm cannon and radar was located on the starboard side. An air intake
feeding the single HeS 011 turbojet was located between the two gondolas.
Like the He P.1078A, the gull wings were swept back at 40 degrees.
