Junkers G.38

Junkers G.38 был очень амбициозным проектом фирмы - на момент своего первого полета он был самым большим сухопутным самолетом в мире. По конструкции и аэродинамике это была, в общем-то, типичная машина компании "Junkers", но с увеличенным крылом очень толстого профиля. Ее первый полет состоялся в 1929 году, а в 1931 году самолет, получив роскошную отделку, начал службу в авиакомпании "Luft Hansa".

A NEW JUNKERS COMMERCIAL MONOPLANE
The 4-Engined Type J.38

   RECENTLY, rumour has been busy with reports of "giant" Junkers machines in which, it was alleged, the old 1910 ideal of Prof. Junkers - the "flying wing" - was said to have been realised. Like the death of Mark Twain, this is "grossly exaggerated." The Junkers firm of Dessau has kindly sent us a brief statement and the accompanying photographs, of which one shows two scale models, the larger of which represents the new machine. The other photograph shows a wing for the new machine in the works at Dessau, and the man standing by gives a good idea of the size of this wing.
   The J.38, as the new machine will be called, does not realise the ideal of the "flying wing," although it goes some way towards it, part of the space inside the wing forming a portion of the passenger accommodation. But there is a distinct fuselage, as the photograph of the scale model shows.
   At the moment but few particulars of the new machine are available, but we are informed that the wing span will be no less than 45 m. (147-5 ft.). The construction appears to be the usual Junkers, with multi spars of Duralumin tubing and corrugated Duralumin sheet covering.
   The power plant will consist of four Junkers engines, type L.55, mounted on the leading edge of the wing, and it is stated that the engineer will be able to crawl through the wing to any engine in order to effect adjustments and minor repairs. Thus it is expected that the reliability (i.e., freedom from forced landings) will be very good.
   The new machine departs from normal Junkers practice in that it is not a low-wing monoplane but has its wing arranged in a position which the Germans now term "shoulder decker," i.e., just below the top longerons.
   The photograph shows but little of the undercarriage, but it would appear that this will be of the four-wheeled type, with the two pairs of wheels arranged in tandem, under mudguards. The Bristol Aeroplane Co. produced an undercarriage of this type some years ago, but, as far as we are aware, no other British firm has tried it. One would imagine that when the machine is swung around sharply on the ground there would be a risk of ripping the tyres off, unless special precaution is taken.
   It is expected that the J.38 will be finished in the early summer of this year.

THE JUNKERS G. 38.

Мировая Авиация 126
Регистрационный номерRegistry number: D-APIS [6]
G 38ce. Второй G 38 имел долгую историю эксплуатации, трижды сменив за ее время свое обозначение. Впервые взлетев в 1932 году, в июне он получил сертификат, а в июле начал службу в авиакомпании "Lufthansa". Машина с регистрационным номером D-2500 работала на линиях, связывающих Берлин со Скандинавскими странами, Веной и Римом, Амстердамом и Лондоном, Данцигом и Кенигсбергом, а также маршрутах внутри Германии. В 1934 году самолет получил новый регистрационный номер D-APIS и продолжал службу в "Lufthansa" до 1939 года. Мобилизованный в сентябре Люфтваффе, он служил в подразделении KGrbV 172 под регистрационным номером GF-GG.

Один Junkers G.38b был мобилизован для службы в Люфтваффе в сентябре 1939 и использовался для перевозок на Балканах. Олицетворявший концепцию "Grossflugzeug" (тяжелый и крупногабаритный), этот самолет имел крыло с толстым профилем, в котором размещались дополнительные места для пассажиров. Самолет также строился в Японии как тяжелый бомбардировщик Mitsubishi Ki-20. Всего построили восемь самолетов.

THE AGE OF THE LARGE AIRCRAFT: The Junkers G.38 has now been completed and has made its first test flights. The machine is a step towards Dr. Junkers' ideal of the "flying wing." The machine is fitted with 4 Junkers I.55 engines, partly housed in the wing, and has a span of 147-5 ft.

THREE BIG THINGS IN AVIATION: This photo - for which we have to thank our friends Shell-Mex Sc B.P.,Ltd. - taken recently over the Ausseralster, the larger of the two lakes in the centre of Hamburg, shows the Junkers G.38, the world's largest landplane, in flight; the Dornier Do. X, the world's largest flying-boat, moored on the left; and the new extensive Shell Haus on the lakeside on the right.

An early application of the Diesel to commercial aircraft was in the vast Junkers G.38, which had four of the 600/750 h.p. Jumo 204 type units.
The machine originally had petrol engines but has now been fitted with four Junkers diesels. The neat cowling of these large engines is shown in the picture.

A TWO-STOREY AIRBUS: The large Junkers G.38 airliner has been modified to meet the demand for extra passenger space by the addition of a "second storey" on top of the fuselage, between the wings. A smoking compartment has also been provided. The machine will be put into service between Berlin and London.

Having painted the main American bombers in earlier pictures, I thought I might extend the “nose art” theme to other subjects. For Deutsche Lufthansa the most famous and beautiful of all Germans was chosen. The plan was to show her as “Lola” - or is it “Lili Marlene”? - painted on the nose of the giant Junkers-G 38. However, I decided that the picture was too delicately balanced in tone to take two figures, so I abandoned the original concept ana somehow a Ju 52 drifted into the scene... PHILIP CASTLE
