Re: Germany giant aircraft of 1920s

Thanks for these additional twin-boomers... It seems the list will grow forever...

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Tophe,

and notice that the other Rumpler flying boat had only two fuselages
but here it had four fuselages.

..... but here it had four fuselages.

Judging this contemporary artist's impression, it principally were six, with only the inner four carrying
tail booms, but the outer ones used for carrying load/passengers, too and not just auxiliary floats.
(From Luftfahrt International N° 14, March/April 1976)

 

[hesham]

Yes my dear Jemiba,that's right.

 

[Jemiba]

From Wolfgang Wagner "Der deutsche Luftverkehr - Die Pionierjahre 1919 - 1925" a drawing showing
the internal arrangement of the Siemens-Schuckert-Werke (SSW) R IX.
The installation of the eight engines in the fuselage is clearly visible.

Flugsport

Dear Hesham, do you have the source of this model?

 

[Jemiba]

You'll find it in the 1926 volume of the German "Flugsport" magazine (http://www.luftfahrt-bibliothek.de/zeitschrift-flugsport-oskar-ursinus-luftsport-luftfahrt-luftverkehr/index.htm ),
maybe the best way is to use the search on that site via ctr + F, keyword "Klamt".

 

[hesham]

My dear Gabriel,

as my dear Jemiba mentioned,and the NASA report also.

 

[gabrielorosco]

Thank you all for answering. So, I think that Klamt design was the largest of it's kind (considering wingspan). Can we define what was the largest luxury flying boat design?
Hugs.

Hard to say my dear Gabriel.

 

[gabrielorosco]

Hi!

After looking a the material our friend recommended, (1926 volume of the German "Flugsport" magazine) I was able to find another image of the Klamt giant flying boat. Do you think it was also meant to have windows like a promenade in the leasing edge of the windows?

 

[hesham]

From L'Air Revue 1926,

here is a strange Info for Grulich,he had two giant Projects not one,the
Type-L and Type-S,both of them could accommodated 70 passenger,
of course the last one wasn't related to S.1 ;

[hesham]

From L'Air 1927.

 

[gabrielorosco]

From L'Air 1927.

This Rumpler design is very interesting. Is there more information and images about Grulich design? Passengers were carrier on the large wing or on the fuselages?

My dear Gabriel,

I think in fuselages,and in reply # 31 more Info about Grulich Type-L and Type-S.

From Icaro 2/1929.

 

[hesham]

From Aerea 2/1927,

all Info about Klamt airplane,it could carry 150 passenger.
