Germany, 1924 - From 1920 to
1924 Prof. Hugo Junkers presented some very unusual, original and
visionary concepts for giant commercial aircraft. One of the studies
was this canard type all wing airliner of 36 tons, projected to
carry 100 passengers, most of them seated in the enormous wing spanning
262.5 feet / 80 metres. The four engines of 2000 hp each would have
given it a speed of 118 mile/h / 190 km/h. How wonderful it would
have been to see it fly! It was never built, however.
The model is cast in polyurethane and has no transparent fenestration.
