Junkers K16
Junkers K16b (1:1 Scale)
Junkers’ major purpose for the K16 (K=Kabinenflugzeug/cabin aircraft) was the utilization as a small airliner on routes with lower demands, where the F13 was not economical enough. But the German air traffic increased rapidly and the K16 was no longer interesting to the German airlines, when it became commercially available in 1924. The small number that were produced were mostly sold to private owners. Junkers entered two K 16s in the 1925 Deutsche Rundflug, with one machine winning second place in the competition.
