The Junkers G38 is one of my favourite commercial aircraft from the interwar period - probably because I love blended wing designs. Developed during the late 1920s, it would become the largest landplane in the world when it first took off in 1929. Despite only two being built in Germany, they would quickly make a name for themselves with Lufthansa as luxurious air liners.
Its main feature was the massive wing, which had a span of 44 meters and was almost 2 meters thick. This allowed it to hold a pair of passenger cabins, 'engine rooms' for mechanics to service the engine, and a large fuel capacity - giving it excellent range and endurance. Unfortunately the aircraft was let down somewhat by its lack of passenger capacity (never exceeding 34), but it was an exciting demonstration of 'big wing' design. The G38 was also built under licence in Japan as the Mitsubishi Ki-20 (or Type 92).

@@RexsHangar These aircraft and these decades also produced some iconic looks for illustrating sci-fi stories of the 1930s and 40s. In a way, a new era of steampunk. Those illustrations in turn became iconic for sci-fi. During my childhood in the 1960s my reading contained airplane history and enormous amounts of sci-fi, all while avidly following the unfolding space age. My dad loved airplanes, he was an electrical ground crew tech for B-29 turrets and post-war was an engineering draftsman for Grumman until ~1955. My uncle was an engineer at Grumman and worked on the Lunar Module. So I came by all these interests honestly!

Repent and follow Jesus! Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes are now and have been claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place. Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.

I recall being fascinated by this plane when I first saw it on an episode of Wings many years ago. Details were scant, then I soon forgot about it. This presentation of its rich and detailed history is excellent. This is my favorite period of aviation history, and with so much rapid development, many designs were obsolete even before they took to the air. That this one lasted a good 12 years (even longer in Japan) is remarkable for its era. The combination of a metal monoplane wing and large, wooden propellers gives away its design at the intersection of different periods of aviation technology, and must have been a sight to behold when it landed at a local airfield. It's too bad that there are no surviving examples, but WWII did that to a lot of magnificent planes. It would have been really neat to see one make a trans-Atlantic trip.

One must wonder: If WW2 didn't happen, what would aircraft development have looked like? Not only did WW2 end up putting runways all over the place (which effectively lead to the slow demise of flying boats as a viable aircraft style), but it effectively ended up accelerating the "standardizing" of larger aircraft to all generally follow the same style (read: the military bomber style). And many airline aircraft following the war effectively were built with the lessons learned from making bombers.

As if I am supposed to put my entire life story and/or my entirety of beliefs and everything into every single post I make on the internet. 3. While not so... inflamatory, the other comment also is one that, while it doesn't attack me, does comment that without WW2 millions wouldn't have died and all that. So for some reason, people on the interwebs automatically assume you ONLY CARE ABOUT THE THING YOU SAY IN YOUR COMMENT. Not about anything else. No really. I made a comment where I wondered how aircraft would be if WW2 never happened (for whatever imagined reason). And I got TWO responses within the next day or two (and so far, the ONLY responses) that are nothing except "if WW2 didn't happen a lot of people would not have died" with one of the two then attacking me for caring more about planes than people. I could rant more about this, but honestly, anyone who cares is either approaching the limit of how much of a comment they are willing to read, or are already past it. So let us just end with "This Kevin guy thinks that because I wonder how aircraft would have developed without WW2, that the only thing I care about is aircraft, and that I don't give a crap about all the people who died, the atrocities committed during the war, the camps, the military personel who died... *No. Apparently, I DON'T CARE, BECAUSE I HAD THE AUDACITY TO MERELY WONDER HOW AIRCRAFT WOULD BE DIFERENT IF THESE BAD THINGS DIDN'T HAPPEN, AND TO POST SUCH A COMMENT ON A PRE-WW2 AIRCRAFT VIDEO.* Let this be a lesson not to assume. Because when you assume...

@@SephirothRyu so, you pick a aspect which YOU prefer? Ask every second family in Europe to choose between 1) the dead of ww2 or 2) other plane design. ...or, maybe you also declare that ww2 and German scientists were the best to happen to rockets and manned moon flight?

@@Kevin-bl6lg In case you forgot, or were just unable to understand the words you read, the original comment is me wondering what kinds of aircraft development we would have had if WW2 had not happened. You are the one who just assumed for some reason that I cared more about plane designs then the people who died. You are the one who brought up the idea of caring only about the planes. You are the one who weirdly thinks me merely not mentioning the people who died in a short post automatically means I don't care about them. Guess what. As shocking as it may be to you, it is possible to both think WW2 is a tragedy, AND to wonder about how aircraft would look in the 40s and beyond if WW2 had never happened.

Whilst I enjoy these giant planes of the past, I have always found myself fascinated by the Airships from Graf Zeppelin, and the lighter than air balloons shaped like tubes and cigars, to see such a sight flying over a city such as New York has always captivated me, most recently I watched the Castle in the Sky and was blown away by the design of Airship Goliath. Like the man in the Wind Rises, Giovanni Caproni, I dream of a ship flying through the sky, packed with passengers going to and from continents. Like the flying caste I would’ve named a airship like Goliath Laputa, Castle in the Sky

The ability to work on and around engines and feul supply was very clever , way ahead of its time . Yes , to a point , during WW2 , multi engined bombers had this (abeit drastically reduced ) facility , the job of the engineer . Planes such as the Avro Lancaster were such planes .

@jfan4reva 2 года назад
I was surprised to see that this was an actual working aircraft when I saw this video. Recognized it instantly. I should have known. Studio Ghibli films use a lot of aircraft that actually existed, and are accurately rendered. Watch the combat scene in "Porko Rosso" and see the pilot using 'top rudder' in an extreme banked turn. Only a director who is an avid aviation fan would have included that shot and made sure that the rudder pedals were used correctly.
