The LFG V 130 Strela-Land was a German passenger aircraft of the Luftfahrzeug-Gesellschaft mbH. It was developed from the V 13 floatplane and built in smaller numbers.

development

The LFG shipyard in Stralsund designed the land version of the V 13, which differed from this only in the landing gear and a modified tail unit , in 1924. For the time being, only one aircraft with the serial number 90 with a Benz IIIa engine was built and on the Hamburg - Stettin - Danzig route operated by the LFG , which was also flown with V 13. On May 15, 1925, Luftverkehr Pommern GmbH was founded in Stettin as a subsidiary of the Stralsund shipyard to operate this airline and to serve individual districts, cities and seaside resorts in the Baltic Sea region. The new company needed an inexpensive passenger aircraft that could be delivered quickly and so an order was placed with LFG for seven more V 130s, which were named after coastal cities in the Baltic Sea region and which were delivered in the same year. One unit received a British Puma engine, two the Benz Bz IV engine already used in the V 13 and four the BMW IV . The aircraft were used until 1927 and then taken over by Deutsche Luft Hansa .

In the course of their service life, some aircraft were given different propulsion systems: The first thing in March 1928 was the D-547 to be replaced by the British Puma engine instead of the BMW IV . Then the D-796, initially equipped with a Benz IV , got a Junkers L 5 in March 1929 and a BMW IV in June 1930 . It can still be proven in Berlin in August 1931 . The D-810 received an L 5 in June 1930 and was sold to Breslau .

It is not known where the last V 130 built with a BMW IV engine and registration number D-755 was delivered.

construction

The V 130 was a braced, three-legged double - decker in wood construction and a plywood-clad hull. It had a rectangular cross-section, a closed passenger cabin and an open cockpit, in which the fuel tank was also located. The cabin could be entered through a door on the left. The upper and lower wings consisted of a wooden frame covered with fabric, were connected by pairs of I-handles in three levels on each side and crossed with tensioning wires. Both had ailerons connected by bumpers . Steel tube struts were located between the two box spars . The lower wing was connected to the lower edge of the fuselage, while the upper wing was connected to the fuselage by a tombstone. The braced tail unit , designed in a normal construction, had a split elevator and a rudder that was attached above the fin and ended with the lower edge of the fuselage . Both were fabric-covered steel and duralumin structures , whereas the horizontal and vertical fins were made of wood and fabric. The rigid chassis with rubber damping consisted of the main wheels connected to an axle and a grinding spur at the rear. They could be replaced by two swimmers for the use of water surfaces.
