Heinkel He 113, (alternative designation for He 100) Heinkel He 114, reconnaissance seaplane; Heinkel He 115, general-purpose seaplane; Heinkel He 116, transport + reconnaissance; Heinkel He 119 single-engine high-speed bomber (prototypes), reconnaissance aircraft, 1937; Heinkel He 120 four-engine long-range passenger flying-boat(project), 1938

Engines produced before the RLM's designation system was set up are often listed using the same basic terminology.
