In early 1936, Heinkel developed a high-altitude version of the Heinkel He 51 with a long-span, twin-bay biplane wingbox. The upper wing was extended to 13.8 meters, and the lower wing to 13.4 meters. With the standard fuselage of the Heinkel He 51 B, the aircraft received the designation B-3. Based on its testing results, two more aircraft were created: the Heinkel He 52 B (D-IBAA) and the Heinkel He 52 D (D-IDOG) with twin-float landing gear, which crashed early in testing. The high-altitude fighter was planned for production under the designation Heinkel He 52 E, but the Technical Department ultimately rejected it.
