As part of the Emergency Fighter Program (Jägernotprogramm), at the beginning of 1945 a programme was launched by the OKL for a new generation of fighter/interceptor aircraft in order to replace the winner of the Volksjäger fighter design competition, the He 162A Spatz .
Heinkel produced three different designs of the project which were submitted in February 1945.
The Heinkel P.1078 project had three quite different variants. All of them were a single-seat fighters with polihedral swept wings. The wings were swept back at 40 degrees and included wood in their construction. All of the projected aircraft had the wing tips angled downwards and all of them would be powered by a single Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet.
