Junkers J 1, (no military designation) world's first-ever full metal-structure aircraft, 1915. Junkers J 2, (no military designation) experimental all-metal single seater, designed as fighter, 1916. Junkers J 3, mid-wing monoplane, cancelled before completion, first proposed corrugated-skin duralumin design.
Hugo Junkers (3 February 1859 – 3 February 1935) was a German aircraft engineer and aircraft designer who pioneered the design of all-metal airplanes and flying wings. His company, Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke AG (Junkers Aircraft and Motor Works), was one of the mainstays of the German aircraft industry in the years between World War I and World War II.
The aircraft was known only by its Junkers factory model number of J 1 and should not be confused with the later, armoured all-metal Junkers J 4 sesquiplane, accepted by the later Luftstreitkräfte as the Junkers J.I (using a Roman numeral), from the category of armored combat aircraft established by IdFlieg.
The Junkers F 13 is the world's first all-metal transport aircraft, designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Junkers. Produced shortly after the end of the First World War , it was a cantilever -wing monoplane with enclosed accommodation for four passengers and a two seat open cockpit.
The Junkers J.I (manufacturer's name J 4) was a German "J-class" armored sesquiplane of World War I, developed for low-level ground attack, observation and army cooperation. It is especially noteworthy as being the first all-metal aircraft to enter mass production; the aircraft's metal construction and heavy armour was a shield against small ...
The Junkers J 2's pioneering "unitized" forward fuselage structure, integrating the wing roots, engine mount and cockpit. The J 2 differed from the J 1 in having a cowling that almost entirely enclosed the engine, a rounded upper and lower fuselage section instead of the rectangular section of the J 1., and a narrower and deeper ventral radiator enclosure, and had a horizontal stabilizer ...
The half-finished Junkers J 3 was stored in Dessau with the J 1 and several J 2s. In the mid-1920s, these aircraft were brought to an exhibition at the new Junkers Lehrschau to document the early phase of all-metal aircraft construction.
The Junkers A50 was the first sports plane designed by Hermann Pohlmann in Junkers works. [1] It had the same modern all-metal construction, covered with corrugated duralumin sheet, as larger Junkers passenger planes. [1] On 13 February 1929, the A50 conducted its maiden flight. It was promptly followed by further four prototypes, several of ...
