Beautiful and elegant plane.👏

[@michaelvalenzuela2528]

Amazing take off in rough seas.

[@Joe_Gaismeier]

The most beautiful plane in the world and it comes out my hometown like the Zeppelins, Friedrichshafen at the lake of Constance

Super Film, beeindruckend !👍

[@fredtedstedman]

so graceful ! love the way she handles the sea ......with that relatively shallow hull ! ( Compared to a Sunderland .)

[@tomw377]

That really was one nice-looking aircraft. Very serpentine (i.e. snake-like) in appearance when viewed head-on. It's short takeoff distance was impressive as well.

Was door Dornier ontworpen op basis van schetsen en specificaties die door enkele Nederlandse marineofficieren waren opgesteld. Moest de opvolger van de succesvoille Dornier 'Wal' (Walvis) in Indië worden.

7:36 - 7:46. 10 seconds from standing in head wind to airborne. This aircraft has power!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Advantages of having Props blow air over the wing, the middle third of the span is already developing the lift it will have once the same airspeed is reached. It also allows the aircrafts ground speed to be much slower on approach to landing.

[@terohyvarinen4358]

@@PiDsPagePrototypes Yep. Same as An72/74. I just did not understand that right away. I have heard it explained by coanda effect, but aerodynamics is not my speciality.

Beeindruckend! Da würde so manchem Pilötchen von heute die Muffe gehen......!

Beautiful. Can I have a 3/4 scale one with 3 PT6's & a well stocked galley please? : )

[@jameseagles6700]

Then check out the Do-24att with 3 PT645b engines

[@fredtedstedman]

sounds like a plan to me .........................

[@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935]

Lots of shock cooling of the engine cylinders from wave splashes, a big maintenance overhead from replacing cracked cylinders.

[@Franky46Boy]

De Duitse Wehrmacht was niet erg onder de indruk van de prototypes en bestelde de Do24 dan ook niet... Dat veranderde toen zij in mei 1940 de productielijn van Aviolanda in Nederland in handen kregen!
