Heinkel was passionate about high-speed flight, and was keen on exploring alternative forms of aircraft propulsion. In high-speed flight the assumptions of incompressibility of the air used in Low-speed aerodynamics no longer apply He donated aircraft to Wernher von Braun who was investigating rocket propulsion for aircraft, as well as sponsoring the research of Hans von Ohain into turbojet engines.

Production continued under license in Argentina until 1961, but an attempt to start production in Ireland ended due to quality control problems. In Engineering and Manufacturing, quality control and quality engineering are involved in developing systems to ensure products or services The Trojan Ltd company of Croydon, England,produced 6000 or so Kabine cars under licence. They produced four variants and prototypes for several more between 1961 and 1965. Their price reduced the demand in the face of cheap ordinary cars so production ceased.
