__NOTOC__ The Messerschmitt M 24, otherwise known as the BFW M.24 was an airliner developed in Germany in the late 1920s〔Taylor 1989, 651〕 as a further development in the series of designs produced by Messerschmitt based on the M 18.〔''The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft'', 2459〕 Like the M 18 and its follow-on, the M 20, it was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a fully enclosed cabin and fixed tailwheel undercarriage. It was slightly smaller than the M 20, seating only eight passengers instead of the ten that could be carried by the previous aircraft.〔 Two prototypes were initially built with BMW and Junkers inline engines, followed by two more with BMW-built Pratt & Whitney radials. However, Messerschmitt proved unable to sell the design, possibly due at least in part to the enmity of Deutsche Luft Hansa director Erhard Milch towards Messerschmitt.〔Szegeti 1998, 74〕 The first M 24a (Junkers engined, registered ''D-1767'') was used commercially from 1930 by Nordbayerische Verkersflug on the Dresden-Chemnitz-Plauen-Nuremberg route until it was lost in 1934.〔Smith 1971 p.27〕 ==Variants== *M 24a - prototypes with BMW Va and Junkers L5G engines (2 built) *M 24b - prototypes with BMW-built Pratt & Whitney Hornet engines (2 built) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Messerschmitt M 24」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
