===He 111G=== The He 111G was an upgraded variant and had a number of differences to its predecessors. To simplify production the leading edge of the wing was straightened, like the bomber version. Engine types used included the BMW 132, BMW VI, DB 600 and DB601A. Some C variants were upgraded with the new wing modifications. A new BMW 132H engine was also used in a so-called ''Einheitstriebwerk'' (unitary powerplant). These radial engines were used in the [[Junkers Ju 90]] and the [[Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor]]. The wing units and engines were packed together as [[Modular design|complete operating systems]], allowing for a quick change of engine<ref name="Regnat 2004, p. 21">{{harvnb|Regnat|2004|p=21}}</ref> β a likely direct precursor of the wartime ''[[Kraftei]]'' aviation engine unitization concept. The He 111G was the most powerful as well as the fastest commercial version.<ref name="Regnat 2004, p. 21"/> The G-0 was given the BMW VI 6.0 ZU. Later variants had their powerplants vary. The G-3 for example was equipped with the BMW 132. The G-4 was powered by DB600G inverted-vee {{convert|950|hp|abbr=on}} engines and the G-5 was given the DB601B with a top speed of {{cvt|410|km/h}}. By early 1937, eight G variants were in Lufthansa service. The maximum number of He 111s in Lufthansa service was 12. The He 111 operated all over Europe and flew as far away as [[South Africa]]. Commercial development ended with the He 111G.<ref name="Regnat 2004, p. 21"/>
