  • Die Entstehung Der Verkehrsfliegerei Und Die Junkers F 13
    Die Entstehung der Verkehrsfliegerei und die Junkers F 13 Das Ende des 1. Weltkrieges bringt gleichzeitig den Beginn einer neuen Art der Fliegerei, der zivilen Luftfahrt mit der Verkehrsfliegerei, in Europa und in den USA und bald überall. Erstmalig werden anfangs noch mit alten Militärflugzeugen Post und Fracht befördert und wie sie hier unten ein Modell des Bombers der deutschen Firma AEG sehen, werden diese Bomber zu Passagierflugzeugen umgebaut, nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern ähnlich bei allen am Krieg beteiligten Mächten. Natürlich bestehen sie nach wie vor aus Stoff und Holz, die AEG sogar schon aus geschweißtem Stahlrohr im Rumpf und Alu-Rippen mit Stoffbespannung für die Flächen. Die Flugsicherheit ist nicht besonders hoch., Erst 1919 beginnt, man kann es ruhig bezeichnen als eine Revolution im Flugzeugbau, eine vollkommen neue Ära: Hugo Junkers aus Dessau bringt nicht nur das erste reine, für diese Zwecke konstruierte Passagierflugzeug auf den Markt, er baut es auch als das erste Ganzmetall-Verkehrsflugzeug aus dem noch jungen Leichtmetall Aluminium. Hier steht als Nachbau seine berühmte F 13. Revolution im Flugzeugbau deshalb, weil Junkers nicht nur von Holz und Stoff abgeht sondern auch eine neue Technologie im Flugzeugbau einführt: Das 1:1 Modell einer Junkers F 13 bei uns im Museum (darüber ein Original- Nachbau einer Klemm Kl 25). Keine Spanntürme, keine Drahtverspannungen, dafür aber ein neuer, trapez- förmiger profilierter Metallflügel. Erstmalig werden Rumpf- und Tragflächen, durch starke Längs- und Querträger, wie ein Käfig gebaut, auf den man dann die dünne Aluminiumaußenhaut aufnietet. Und dieser Verbund übernimmt alle Kräfte, die auf das Flugzeug wirken. Gleichzeitig bekommt man aber freie Räume sowohl im Rumpf für die Unterbringung der Fluggäste, Wie auch in der Tragfläche.

  • Power and Initiative in Twentieth Century Germany
    POWER AND INITIATIVE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMANY THE CASE OF HUGO JUNKERS by RICHARD WILLIAM EDWIN BYERS (Under the direction of John Morrow) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the relationship between private enterprises and nation states in high technology research and applications. As the twentieth century progressed, this relationship became more contentious as state organs, citing national security priorities, attempted to assert their influence on private manufacturers. Nowhere is this relationship better illustrated than in the aircraft industry, and Germany’s geopolitical circumstances during the first half of the twentieth century provide an excellent framework to explore this intersection of interests. The dissertation focuses on the relationship between Professor Hugo Junkers and three successive state regimes in Germany between 1914 and 1934. Already a successful businessman and entrepreneur by the beginning of the First World War, Hugo Junkers continued to pursue plans for all- metal aircraft designs after war began despite wartime supply difficulties and widespread skepticism that such a craft would ever fly. Successful flight trials in 1915 lead to increased official interest in the Junkers firm as a possible military aircraft supplier, and military representatives began negotiations with Junkers over possible production of his aircraft designs. When these negotiations foundered, state officials accused Junkers of pursuing selfish objectives at the state’s expense, and increasingly intervened in the firm’s production processes. Professor Junkers fiercely resisted these incursions, and this resistance permanently damaged relations between the two parties. Throughout the life of the Weimar Republic, Junkers and state officials fought to control the firm’s production and design priorities.

    Ilmavoimat t Ilmavoimien lentokonetyyppejä talvi-, jatko- ja Lapin sodassa Gloster Gamecock II Gloster Gamecock II oli brittiläinen yksipaikkainen hävittäjä. Vuonna 1927 hankittiin ilmavoimille malliksi yksi kone, jota seurasi keväällä 1928 vielä toinen sekä valmistuslisenssi 15 koneelle. Hankinta oli erittäin onnistunut, ja se loi pohjaa suomalaiselle hävittäjätoiminnalle Gourdou-Leseurren ja Martinsyden saappaanjäljissä. "Kukko" oli ensimmäinen Suomessa sarjana valmistettu hävittäjä. Tyyppiä oli ilmavoimilla käytössä 17 konetta vuosina 1927–1944. Kärkiväli: 9,15 m Pituus: 6,5 m Lentopaino: 1 317 kg ja Suurin nopeus: 230 km/h 1 Ilmavoimat t Fokker C.V E ja D Fokker C.V oli alankomaalainen kaksipaikkainen tiedustelukone. Vuonna 1927 ilmavoimille hankittiin yksi D-tyypin kone vertailuja varten. Vuonna 1935 maahan saapui 13 ostettua Fokker C.V E -konetta. Talvisodassa koneita käytettiin tiedusteluun ja häirintäpommituksiin lähinnä öisin. Ruotsi lahjoitti kolme CV. E - konetta, ja Norjasta loikkasi saksalaismiehitystä karkuun kaksi C.V D:tä. Sodan alkaessa jo täysin vanhentuneen tyypin käyttö loppui vuonna 1945. Kaikkiaan Ilmavoimissa oli kirjoilla 19 konetta vuosina 1927–1945.
