The Heinkel HE 2, produced in Sweden as the Svenska S 3 and nicknamed the Hansa, was a reconnaissance floatplane built in small numbers to equip the Swedish Navy in the 1920s. It was a refinement of the Heinkel HE 1, sharing its basic configuration as a low-wing, strut-braced monoplane with no tail fin and a rudder that barely protruded above and below the line of the fuselage. Three were originally purchased, a fourth was built by Svenska Aero some time later and a fifth and last aircraft was built by the Navy itself. The type stayed in service for over ten years and was finally retired in 1935. It had a wingspan of 17.48 metres, a Rolls-Royce Eagle IX engine of 270 kilowatts and a top speed of 183 kilometres per hour, with one rearward-firing Madsen machine gun.
