Junkers F13

[jsstevens]

I just ran across this article on building a new, flyable, Junkers F13 from scratch.

Pretty cool plane for 1919. First all metal commercial plane. And the last one was retired in 1951. That's a good run.

Neither. al-u-minium came first, as it was used in the first all metal Junkers F.13.

Technically, the components were made of "al-looo-mi-nom" but it was the British press that reported on the use of "al-u-minium."

But to answer the question, 6061 alloy was developed in 1935, and the Junkers F.13 was introduced in 1920, so.....

I searched Junkers before I created a thread and didn't turn up that thread. Hmm. I wonder why? Anyway, thanks.

Ahh, the Ask SAC a Question thread. Well, I think this qualifies as its own thread.
