Dornier Do C Delphin I, II и III и Komet I и II
<...>
В 1921 году взлетел самолет Do C III Komet I, по сути, являвшийся сухопутным вариантом Delphin I, у которого корпус лодки заменили обычным фюзеляжем, и сохранивший много общего со своим прародителем. Машина имела высокий фюзеляж, неубирающееся шасси, подкосное оперение, крыло с постоянной хордой, подкрепленное подкосами. Двигатель был перемещен в носовую часть фюзеляжа. Сначала на самолете был установлен мотор BMW IIIa мощностью 185 л. с. (138 кВт), но из-за этого потолок машины оказался больше, чем допускалось условиями Версальских соглашений. По требованию Контрольной комиссии силовую установку заменили на BMW III мощностью 180 л.с. (134 кВт). Четыре пассажира размещались в закрытой кабине под крылом, а пилот сидел в открытой кабине сверху фюзеляжа, сразу за задней кромкой крыла. Сохранившиеся документы не позволяют судить о количестве построенных машин, но известно, что некоторые из них были впоследствии доработаны до стандарта Merkur. Известно несколько экземпляров Komet I, служивших сначала в авиакомпании "Deutsche Luft-Reederei", затем в "Deutsche Aero Lloyd" и, наконец, в "Deutsche Luft Hansa" (DLH), организованной в 1926 году.
Усовершенствованный вариант, Komet II, взлетевший 9 октября 1922 года, выпускался в больших количествах и служил на авиалиниях в Колумбии, Испании, Швейцарии и СССР, а также в Германии. Он имел удлиненный фюзеляж, вмещавший то же количество пассажиров, но экипаж состоял из двух человек. Самолет был оснащен двигателем BMW IV мощностью 250 л. с. (186 кВт).

This rear view of the prototype shows the pilot's cockpit behind the wing, a deep rudder and divided elevator and the narrow track undercarriage with wheels close to the fuselage sides. The raised instrument panel can be seen forward of and to the right of the cockpit.

A close-up of the prototype's cockpit with the instruments outside on special individual mountings. On the right wing and out of reach of the pilot is a fuel cock and contents gauge. The pilot is not smiling.

To allow the pilot's cockpit to be moved forward behind the engine, the cabin and its windows have been moved back. The rudder has been cut away to allow a larger one-piece elevator. With the same short fuselage this aircraft may be a rebuild of the prototype.

The 4-blade propeller made from two 2-bladers seen here is a right hand tractor for the BMW engine. This early production Komet II is the same aircraft as that seen on pp.2003/182 and 183 but the 'radio mast' is actually a mounting for a venturi pipe used during test flights.
-
Air-Britain Archive 2003-04 / J.Meaden - Dornier - pioneer and survivor /Head-On View/ (9)
The production model Komet II with 2 ft 7fi in longer fuselage. This particular aircraft has a radio mast, a rarity at the time, a four-blade propeller and wide radiator.

Air-Britain Archive 2003-04 / J.Meaden - Dornier - pioneer and survivor /Head-On View/ (9)
The same aircraft. The production undercarriage has a much wider track than that of the prototype.

Probably the prototype Komet II. It has a much smaller rudder than the prototype Komet I. The aileron balance surface can be seen in this view.
A late production Komet II with a larger radiator and high fully-enclosed engine cowling which probably hides the more powerful 250 hp BMW IV engine. -
Air-Britain Archive 2003-04 / J.Meaden - Dornier - pioneer and survivor /Head-On View/ (9)
Another view of the Komet II seen in the previous photograph showing the larger radiator. This was deeper but less wide than the earlier model, giving the pilot a better view forward alongside the cowling.

Регистрационный номер: D-248 [3] D-248 at a later date as "Dusseldorf" of DAL now has a much taller exhaust pipe exiting from ahead of the front cylinder, probably as a result of pilot complaints about fumes from the earlier installation being detected in the cockpit.

Регистрационный номер: CH-50 The first Komet II c/n 2/23 CH50 was with Ad Astra Aero in 1921. Fitted with a 185hp BMW IIIa it has a 2-blade wood propeller and the pilot's cockpit is close behind the engine in the wing leading edge.

Регистрационный номер: J7276 [3] Komet II c/n 13/50 was used by the RAF as J7276 to test its 'ribbed sheet' metal construction. The early fixed 'park bench' aileron balance tabs and elevators without tabs of the Komet II are noticeable here.

In his article on the Dornier Komet, John Stroud makes a passing reference to the Komet I tested in the UK as J7276. The enclosed photograph of it at Martlesham Heath during those trials may be of interest. The picture is dated September 12, 1924, but this is not necessarily the date that it was taken. -

Регистрационный номер: M-AIAA [3] In this head-on view the square-tipped early Komet wing clearly shows the registration M-AIAA on the underside. This engine installation and radiator, with 4-blade propeller, shows no detail similarity to any other Komet engine installation and like many early applications must be thought of as experimental.
-
Air-Britain Archive 2004-01 / J.Meaden - Dornier - pioneer and survivor /Head-On View/ (9)
Регистрационный номер: M-AIAA [3] This close-up of M-AIAA shows the engine to be a liquid-cooled vee. The one-piece 4-blade metal propeller was not adopted for production Komet 4-bladers which used two 2-blade wood propellers mounted at right angles.
-
Air-Britain Archive 2004-01 / J.Meaden - Dornier - pioneer and survivor /Head-On View/ (9)
Регистрационный номер: M-AIAA [3] More of M-AIAA can be seen in this side view, released in 1924, which enables the engine to be identified as a 280 hp Rolls-Royce Falcon. The 360 hp R-R Eagle, also a water-cooled V12 was used in production Komets.

It will be noted that these early Russian registrations used the prefix RR (for Rossiiskaya Respublika = Russian Republic) without a hyphen, though the spacing was sometimes irregular. -

A NEW ZEPPELIN-DORNIER TWIN-ENGINED AEROPLANE: The keen competition between the Friedrichshafen and Staaken Zeppelin works appears to continue. In our issue of March 17 we published a photograph of the wind-tunnel model of a Staaken twin-engined monoplane. Above is seen the model of Herr Claude'Dornier's reply. This machine, it will be seen, has a fuselage practically identical to that of the single-engined land machine shown in our issue of March 31, 1921, and single-engined flying boat published on April 21, 1921. The new machine is characterised by a very low position of the engines, in fact one would imagine that they are placed too low. They are mounted on the ends of the usual Dornier wing roots growing out of the sides of the fuselage. From the outer lower corners of the engine nacelles bracing tubes run to the monoplane wing. Each of the landing wheels is enclosed in a streamline casing.
