Line 1:
The '''HeS 30''' was an early [[jet engine]], originally designed by Max Adolf Mueller at [[Junkers]], but eventually built and tested at [[Heinkel-Hirth]]. It was possibly the best of the "Class I" engines, a class that included the [[BMW 003]] and [[Junkers Jumo 004]], but work on the design was stopped by the [[RLM]], who felt the Heinkel team should put all their efforts into other designs. Note that the "official" name for the engine is the '''109-006''', and thus it would normally be known as the '''HeS 006''', however development was ended just as these names were being written up at the RLM, and thus the HeS 30 name remains much more common.
Mueller had been working on a variety of engine designs at Junkers before 1938, when Junkers bought [[Junkers Motoren]] (Jumo), formerly a separate company formed primarily from the [[Siemens]] engine concerns. In October 1939 Junkers decided, under pressure from the RLM, that all engine work should take place at Jumo, who now had their own jet engine team in place. Mueller would have ended up in a subordinate role, and decided to leave instead. He and about half of the original Junkers team were scooped up by [[Ernst Heinkel]] and moved to his [[Rostock]] campus.
