For operations over water the heavy night fighters were fitted with lifeboats and radio transmitters. The Dornier Do 31 was an experimental vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) jet-propelled transport designed and produced by West German aircraft manufacturer Dornier. Curiously, the night fighter version was ordered to be able to carry eight 50 kg bombsThe electronic equipment to be installed was listed as the FuG X, 16, 25 Peil G V air-to-ground communications and blind landing devices. Powered by a DB 603 it had similar armament to Do 217 J-2, retaining defensive armament. [1] Der Erstflug des Prototyps fand am 26. By March 1941, 37 217s had been built and test flown.

The BMW 801 that powered the Do 217J proved underpowered, so a night-fighter using the more powerful DB 603 A-1In April 1943, the four MG FF guns had started but were not completed until the late summer.
On 15 October 1939 it was flown successfully.

The Dornier Do 217 had a much larger bomb load capacity and had much greater range than the Do 17. Owing to unresolved engine complications testing was delayed.
A large number of these "fighter/bomber" aircraft were put through severe testing runs between July and September 1941. Many of the E-1 variants, now being built in increasing numbers, were selected for conversion to the new improved fighter variants; the planned 217H, P and R series. Specifically, the Dornier was to be armed with four MG FF fuselage mounted cannon and machine guns for bomber assault, and one MG 131 each in the B-Stand and C-Stand positions for defence from RAF night fighters. The other machine was sent to Löwenthal in July 1940 and had undergone trials with autopilot controls. So fliegen zumindest diese beiden Teile der Do 31 heute noch im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes um die Welt. Mit dem Projekt Do 231 V-Jet gewann Dornier Anfang der 1970er-Jahre einen vom deutschen Bundeswirtschaftsministerium ausgeschriebenen Entwurfswettbewerb für ein zukünftiges ziviles und militärisches V/STOL-Transportflugzeug für 100 Passagiere. A revised anti-shipping version, the Do 217 K-3 was similar to the K-2 but fitted with improved FuG 203-series As the BMW 801 radial engine used by the Do 217K was in great demand for the Fw 190 fighter, the Do 217M, a version powered by The M V1 was to be the first prototype.

Hütter und Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau das Versuchsflugzeug Göppingen Gö 9, um die Funktionsfähigkeit dieser Antriebskonfiguration zu prüfen.Nach den erfolgreichen Tests nutzte Dornier 1942 das Konzept im Projekt Do P.231, aus dem dann die Do … File: /home/bq60o9f5vzd9/public_html/wikizero.com/application/controllers/Main.php
Of the first six prototypes, two (the third and sixth) were delivered to operational units. The N-1 variants were given two sub-variants which were to follow the design of the E-2/E-4 and the J-1/J-2 with emphasis on range and endurance.
The Dornier Do 217 was a bomber used by the German Luftwaffe during World War II as a more powerful development of the Dornier Do 17, known as the Fliegender Bleistift (German: "flying pencil"). The power plants were to reflect the speed requirements. Some twelve of the 280 produced at In the E-3, additional armour was fitted to protect crew. Nine built, entering service in late 1940, and used for secret reconnaissance missions over the then neutral Soviet Union.Dornier completed work on the V6 prototype, the fourth A-0 aircraft. By May 1942, hit rates were just 50 percent.

It had DB 601P engines installed and its wing was enlarged in early 1941. In April 1942, the first E-5 reached the test centres at Peenemünde.

The second C-0 prototype was fitted with dive brakes on the under side of the wings but this configuration was abandoned in January 1941 and replaced by a brake parachute installed in the tail. Only two prototypes were built.High altitude reconnaissance/bomber version with two DB 603B engines supercharged by a single The production of the Do 217 lasted until December 1943.
These consisted of the nose section, which accommodated the crew; the section built integrally with the wing centre section; and the rear fuselage.
