The HFB-320 Hansa Jet is an all-metal twin-engine 10-seat business jet built by German aircraft manufacturer Hamburger Flugzeugbau between 1964 and 1973. The most notable feature of the aircraft is its forward-swept wing which is mid-mounted in the fuselage. This arrangement allows the wing spar to pass through the fuselage behind the passenger cabin without decreasing cabin volume. As of 2011 it remains the only civilian jet ever to use a forward-swept wing.

On 29 June 1972 a HFB-320 Hansa Jet, registration D-CASY crashed on take-off.1
