The Heinkel HD 44 was a special-purpose light transport aircraft developed in Germany in the 1920s. It was similar in layout to the Heinkel HD 40 but differed in the design of the tail assembly. The crew sat in an open cabin with twin controls while the passengers, six in all, travelled in a closed cabin. It first flew in 1929, but the DVL abandoned the idea of a transport plane and the aircraft was relegated to the role of an engine testbed. A BMW VI 5.5 V-12 water-cooled piston engine of 480 kilowatts powered it to a maximum speed of 206 kilometres per hour, and its wingspan was 17.6 metres.
