to using it as a bomber, to carry four 1,800 kg. bombs ; as a reconnaissance aircraft wiht
two 264-gallon jettisonable fuel tanks ; or as an anti-shipping aircraft to carry four
Hs 293 radio-controlled glider bombs.

Heinkel He111Z-1.
The He111Z was basically two He111H-6 airframes, each less one outer wing, joined together
outboard of a left and right engine by a length of wing which carried a fifth Jumo 211 engine.
The result was a five-engined aircraft wiht two-separate fuselages and tail-units.
The pilot sat in the port fuselage.
The intended function of the He111Z was that of a glider-tug, although consideration was given
to using it as a bomber, to carry four 1,800 kg. bombs ; as a reconnaissance aircraft wiht
two 264-gallon jettisonable fuel tanks ; or as an anti-shipping aircraft to carry four
Hs 293 radio-controlled glider bombs.
