Time for Machine Mighty Dornier

Created in Germany in 1929, this plane with is twelve radial engines, six propulsors, and six pushers was the most powerful plane of its era

Dornier Flugzeugwerke was a German aircraft factory founded in 1914. During its long life, the company produced many civil and military designs. Mighty Dornier is a mighty giant designed for civil flights, who has mastered both water and air. Accommodating as many as 169 passengers aboard in luxurious rooms, decks and bars, the Mighty Dornier flying boat remained a record-breaker for the first half of the 20th century.

Its elegant stand, majestic look, and authentic design remembers the times of boldest air experiments. It is made in the Art Nouveau style typical of the late 19th-early 20th century. A very cleverly designed mechanism redirects power to the airplane and rotates all 12 propellers on its wing. The original airplane had 12 engines, 6 turning the front rotors and 6 the rear. The plane had a separate engine control room operated by an engineer who communicated with the pilots through a voice pipes system like on ships.

You will also find a steering wheel symbol on the airplane wing. This steering wheel is located near a handy lever that controls the aileron movement just like on the real plane. The on/off pedal on the stand is like the cockpit pedal of an airplane. There is also an accelerator lever below which reduces the speed.
