The Dornier "Do.X" flying boat (German) : a giant high-wing monoplane

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1930 · 6 pictures

This is a 1930 NACA Aircraft Circular from the NASA Technical Reports Server describing the Dornier Do.X giant high-wing flying boat, a German aircraft, written for engineers and aeronautical researchers. Its photographs show the aircraft's wing and hull structure under construction, engine and propeller installations, and interior fittings, with a few views of the completed machine on the water. A designer could take from them the dense lattice of riveted steel framing and the industrial, workshop-scale photography typical of technical records of the period.
