The Helwan HA-300 (Arabic: حلوان ٣٠٠) was a supersonic jet fighter aircraft developed in Egypt during the 1960s by famous German aircraft engineer Willy Messerschmitt. Initially, Spain was also involved in the development program, accepting an offer to finance the HA-300, but it pulled out of the project while it was still on paper. Subsequently, Egypt financed it, and the program transformed to Egypt where every part was built. The HA-300 was an ambitious project for Egypt, at the time seeking to expand both its civilian and defense aviation industry.
