The Heinkel He 71 represented a German-designed, single-seat monoplane, essentially a compact iteration of the two-seat Heinkel He 64. Initially constructed as a low-wing monoplane equipped with fixed conventional landing gear, its prototype was powered by a 60 hp (45 kW) Hirth HM 60 engine and featured an open cockpit. Subsequent alterations included fitting an enclosed cabin and upgrading the powerplant to a 78 hp (58 kW) Hirth HM 4 engine. Enhanced with extra fuel tanks to extend its operational range, this aircraft was notably flown by German aviator Elly Beinhorn during her journey around Africa.
