The Heinkel HE 57 was a single-engine amphibious flying boat built in 1929. Only one was made, built by Ernst-Heinkel-Flugzeugwerke at Warnemunde. It was shown at the Paris Aero Show in December 1930 and at the Stockholm International Aero Show in May 1931, and was then bought by the flying school at List auf Sylt, which used it as a trainer. The double-stepped hull was made of aluminium, the wings used wooden spars and aluminium ribs with fabric covering, and the landing gear was raised hydraulically with a manual pump. It carried six people, had a wingspan of 16 metres, and its Pratt and Whitney Wasp radial engine of 340 kilowatts gave a maximum speed of 195 kilometres per hour.
