Video Description:
JUNKERS JU 52 "tante JU"
INFO ENGLISH: In its original configuration, designated the Ju 52/1m, the Ju 52 was a single-engined aircraft, powered by either a BMW or Junkers liquid-cooled engines. in 1936, James A. Richardson's Canadian Airways received (Werknummer 4006) CF-ARM , the sixth ever-built Ju 52. The aircraft, n
icknamed the "Flying Boxcar" in Canada, could lift approximately three tons and had a maximum weight of eight tons. It was used to supply mining and other operations in remote areas with equipment too big and heavy for other aircraft then in use. The Ju 52/1m was able to fly on wheels, skis or float
s.[1] However, the single-engine model was underpowered, and after seven prototypes had been completed, all subsequent Ju 52s were built with three engines as the Ju 52/3m (German drei motoren, meaning "three engines"). Originally powered by three Pratt & Whitney Hornet radial engines, later production models mainly received BMW 132 engines, a refinement of the Pratt & Whitney design. Export models were also built with Pratt & Whitney Wasp and Bristol Pegasus engines. The upgrade improved performance and load carrying abilities. As a Lufthansa airliner, the Ju 52 could seat 17, and could fly from Berlin to Rome in eight hours.
The Ju 52 first saw military service in the Spanish Civil War, as both a bomber and transport aircraft. In the former role it participated in the bombing of Guernica. It was again used as a bomber during the bombing of Warsaw[1] during the Invasion of Poland of September 1939. The Luftwaffe then r
elied on the Ju 52 for transport roles during World War II, including paratroop drops, most notably in the Battle of Crete in May 1941. Lightly armed, and with a top speed of only 165 mph — half that of a contemporary Spitfire — the Ju 52 was very vulnerable to fighter attack and an escort was a
lways necessary when flying in a combat zone. Many Ju 52s were shot down by anti-aircraft guns and fighters while transporting supplies, most notably during the desperate attempt to resupply the trapped German Sixth Army during the final stages of the Battle of Stalingrad in 19
(quelle wikipedia) INFO DEUTSCH Charakteristische Konstruktionsmerkmale dieser Maschine sind die Wellblechbeplankung (wie bei vielen Junkers-Flugzeugen) und die drei Motoren. Die Ju 52 diente der deutschen Luftwaffe im Zweiten Weltkrieg als Transportmaschine und überzeugte besonders wegen ihrer ni
edrigen Landegeschwindigkeit. Insgesamt sind etwa 4.800 Maschinen dieses Typs hergestellt worden, davon etwa 1.900 vor dem Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs. (quelle wikipedia) TAGS: jungers ju 52 ju52 tante millitär flugzeug transport rundflug oldtimer bwm triebwerk stern wellblec
