The Heinkel HD 27 was a mail-carrying transport aircraft built in Germany in the 1920s. Only one airframe was ever built. It flew in 1925 and carried mail until 1928, when it was destroyed in a tornado. Although no more were made, the design formed the basis for the later Heinkel HD 39. It had two mail compartments, a wingspan of 12.4 metres and a single Liberty L-12 V-12 water-cooled in-line piston engine of 300 kilowatts, which gave a maximum speed of 178 kilometres per hour.
