The Junkers EF 100 was a Junkers project for a six-engine passenger aircraft for the period after the Second World War . It didn't come to fruition.

history

The aircraft was developed in 1940/1941 and was based on the Ju 90 . If it had been built, the Ju 100 would have been by far the most powerful passenger aircraft of its time. The plane was supposed to carry 100 passengers over 5000 km; with 50 passengers the range would have been 9000 km. That would have been sufficient for a non-stop Atlantic crossing. In the course of development, the aircraft was rescheduled for a long-range maritime patrol and bomber . The bomb load was planned to be 5 t. Development stopped in 1942.

designation

In some sources, the aircraft is also referred to as the Ju 100. This term was never officially used. In the RLM type list , the number 100 was assigned to Fieseler and later to Heinkel for the He 100 .

construction

Six diesel engines were planned as drive . The elliptical fuselage with a pressurized cabin should have been 5.12 m wide, which would have enabled rows of six seats. The landing gear was planned as a three-legged landing gear with a nose wheel and a main landing gear with double tires. A double vertical tail was planned.
