Template:Infobox aircraft The Heinkel Doppeldecker 43 represented a German fighter prototype from the early 1930s. This single-seat, single-engine biplane was created to satisfy a confidential Reichswehr demand for a solitary-seat fighter aircraft. Constructed with two-bay wooden wings and a fuselage made from steel tubing, it was equipped with a 750 hp (600 kW) BMW VI powerplant. The sole prototype took to the skies in 1931.

During evaluation, it competed against the Arado Ar 65, which was ultimately chosen for production, resulting in no further manufacturing of the Heinkel model.
