Junkers T 19

The aircraft Junkers T 19 was created in 1922 as a cantilever high-wing under the project manager Ernst Zindel.

The initially developed as J 19 machine was on the advice of the aerodynamicist Phillipp of Doepp ( 1885-1967 ) built a high wing. She was actually designed for three people with an installed opposite to the flight direction of the third seat. Usually, however, only two seats were installed.

The first flight of the designated internally as Trihoch machine was held in Dessau on 14 July 1922. The machines were equipped with either a Siemens Sh4, Sh5 or Sh12, Armstrong Siddeley Deasy or a Junkers L 1 or converted to these types of engines.

The T 19 was used in Dessau mainly to the investigation of controllability of aircraft aerodynamic stability and shaping. There were built only three. The aircraft was a problematic flight behavior, although success in sports competitions were achieved with this type and to a lesser extent. The design served as the basis for the later T 23 and T 26
