	Claudius Dornier - Definition, explanation
		Claude Dornier was born in Bavaria where he grew up and attended school, with science being his chief interest.
		Dornier then moved to Munich, where he graduated in 1907 from the Technical University.
		Soon appointed as the count's personal scientific advisor, Dornier began fundamental research and design on improving the strength of light metal sections and later on aircraft engineering and giant metal flying boats.

		November 1910 begann der damals 26-jährige Diplom-Ingenieur Claude Dornier in der Versuchsabteilung der Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH zu arbeiten.
		Parallel dazu zog die inzwischen umbenannte Dornier Metallbauten GmbH 1923 von Seemoos einen Kilometer weiter nach Manzell auf das Gelände, das einst der König von Württemberg für Graf Zeppelins erste Flugversuche zur Verfügung gestellt hatte.

	Dornier GmbH
		Dornier Flugzeugwerke was a German aircraft manufacturer founded in Friedrichshafen in 1914 by Claudius Dornier.
		Dornier, originally Dornier Metallbau rose to prominence in the 1920s in aviation and 1930s as a manufacturer of large flying boats, remarkable at the time for their all-metal construction.
		Dornier's most significant design before and during World War II was the Do 17 and its derivatives, which provided the Luftwaffe with a bomber and nightfighter, making use of forced labour.

		Dornier graduated with distinction from the Technische Hochschule in Munich in 1910 and was snapped up by the Zeppelin Co., where his experience with metal structures was invaluable in airship construction.
		Dornier also built advanced fighter and observation aircraft during WW I. These were the first to use the all-metal, stressed skin duralumin construction that became a Dormer trademark.
		Dornier's landplane transports included the Komet and Merkur series, which had done well, but none was as successful as the WaI, of which 320 were built.

		Dornier's significant role between the wars, and in supplying some of the most important and innovative aircraft designs of its era, is largely obscured by these more glamorous and numerous types.
		Ing Claudius Dornier made his name during World War One when he refined the capabilities of flying boats over a number of progressive designs.
		Dornier continued to produce flying boat and conventional passenger aircraft during the 1920s and 1930s.

	Dornier Do 335 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The concept for the Do 335 came from the Dornier fly- ing boats with push-pull engines built during W W I. Ad- vantages of the design were less drag, better control in case of loss of one engine and better maneuverability.
		In the Autumn of 1942 Dornier was told that the Do 335 plane design was no longer required, and instead a multi-role fighter based on the same general layout would be ac- cepted.
		The aircraft was as- sembled at Dornier's plant in Oberpfaffenhofen on April 16, 1945.

		The Dornier Do-217 was a direct development of the Do-l 7 which first flew in 1934.
		The Dornier 217E-5 was adapted from the Dornier 217E-2/A-4 torpedo plane.

	Today in German History
		Dornier worked, in his youth, at the Zeppelin airship factory in Friedrichshafen.
		In 1911 he designed the first all-metal plane and with it founded a new division of the Zeppelin company, the Dornier aircraft company.
		The Dornier company is today a division of Daimler-Benz.

		Owing to restrictions on Germany following WW I, Dornier located in Switzerland and Italy, from whose plants emerged all-metal flying boats and, in 1929, the gargantuan 12-engine "DO-X", the world's largest airplane which carried up to 169 passengers.

	Dornier Do-X
		When Claudius Dornier designed this and began construction he did not want to take any risks with untried technology, everything was to be done with tried and true equipment to avoid and failure from unproven equipment.
		Had Dornier looked to new technology in his engines and made some simple design changes like burying the engines into the wing and eliminating many of the protruding control mechanisms and instituted a stringent weight loss program for the aircraft its chances success may have been greater.
		The last Dornier Do-X was destroyed in 1943 during an RAF air raid on Berlin.

	Dornier-335 Arrow-WWII experimental fighter card model
		The periodic revival of interest in the centre-line thrust concept was understandable in view of the fighter designer's constant demand for more power than was afforded by contemporary engines and the penalties exacted in the form of increased drag and reduced manoeuvrability by the adoption of two engines in an orthodox wing-mounted arrangement.
		Prof.Dr. Dornier first patented the configuration in 1937 that was to render the Do 335 unique when it appeared six years later, and to prove the practicability of the aft-mounted airscrew with its long extension shaft he commissioned Ulrich Bitter to design a small flying test bed embodying this feature.
		Arado, Dornier and Junkers submitted proposals to meet the demands of this requirement, and in the subsequent competitive evaluation, Dornier's submission, the Projekt 231 employing the fore-and-aft engine arrangement, was selected as the winning contender.

	Dornier Do.X

		What is not commonly known was another Dornier design to meet the Air Ministry’s demand that all new designs be jet powered, which the 335 was not.
		Dornier, born in 1884, worked with Zeppilin early on but Count Zeppelin assisted in the foundation of Dornier Metallbauten GmbH.
		The February 1945 requisite for a twin jet night and dirty weather fighter allowed Dornier to again use his basic 335 layout with only a slightly increased wingspan to 50.9 feet while length was the same at 45.3 feet.

	Skylighters, The Web Site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion: The Do335 "Arrow" at Unter Biberg
		One of the most famous of the bizarre shapes which took to the air over Germany was the Dornier Do335, a brave attempt to provide the Luftwaffe with a potent fighter-bomber, night-fighter, and reconnaissance platform.
		Claudius Dornier of Dornier-Werke GmbH had long been interested in the field of centerline thrust, whereby two engines shared the same thrust line (one pulling and one pushing).
		Dornier 335A-12, No. 112, was transferred to the RAF, departing Neubiberg on 7 September 1945 with a Squadron Leader McCarthy ferrying the aircraft to Britain.

		Rückblende: Als es zehn Jahre nach Kriegsende in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wieder gestattet ist, Flugzeuge zu bauen, tritt Claudius Dornier, ältester Sohn des Patriarchen und ebenfalls ambitionierter Flugzeugbauer, in die Geschäftsführung der Dornier Gesellschaften ein.
		Anfangs gelingt es auch Claudius Dornier, der das "kalkulierte Risiko" schätzt und bewusst auf die "ganz großen Dinger" verzichtet, die Ruhe in der Firma zu wahren.
		So fügt Dornier dem Produktionsprogramm des Luft- und Raumfahrtunternehmens in den 70er Jahren sukzessive die Sparten Elektronik und Logistik, Wartung und Betreuung sowie Textil- und Sondermaschinen hinzu - der Grund für die wirtschaftlichen Luftlöcher, die das Unternehmen in den 90er Jahren durchfliegen soll.

		Basically, the Göppingen Gö 9 was identical to the Dornier Do 17, except the dimensions were reduced by 1:2.5.
		The first test flights were made in early 1940, and was towed into the air by a Dornier Do 17 medium bomber.
		With Dornier test pilot Quenzler at the controls, the Göppingen Gö 9 handled well, and proved the feasibility of the rear engine concept.

	Dornier Do 335 Pfeil
		Designed and developed by Dr. Claudius Dornier of Germany, the Do 335 Pfeil (or 'Arrow'), was a unique aircraft idea in every respect of the phrase.
		The result would be a powerful effect working in unison along a low-drag fuselage capable of carrying a formidable array of firepower.
		The concept was later patented by Dr. Dornier in 1937.

	Seaplane Summary
		A German aircraft designer, Claudius Dornier (1884-1969), had already designed several successful seaplanes when he tackled the problem of transporting passengers across the Atlantic profitably, comfortably, and safely.
		In 1929 he unveiled the Dornier Do.X, the largest airplane of its time with twelve engines, a wingspan of 157 feet (47.88 m), and a length of 131 feet (39.95 m).
		Although it never flew, Dornier's craft served as the model for succeeding commercial seaplanes, including the Boeing 314 Clippers, which established the first scheduled routes across the Atlantic.

		By 1942, Dornier was still continuing design work and the war situation was worsening.
		It was built at Dornier's Rechlin-Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, plant on April 16, 1945.
		The Dornier craftsmen doing the restoration - many of whom had worked on the original aircraft -- were astonished to find that the explosive charges fitted to blow off the tail fin and rear propeller in an emergency were still in the aircraft and active, 30 years after their original installation!
