Dornier Do X

The Dornier Do X was a pioneering large flying boat developed in the late 1920s, notable for being one of the largest, most powerful aircraft of its time. Capable of carrying up to 100 passengers or cargo, it featured six engines mounted on various wing sections. Designed for transoceanic travel, it aimed to revolutionize air transportation by connecting distant continents over water. Despite its impressive size, the aircraft faced practical challenges like fuel consumption and limited operational range. The Do X demonstrated advancements in aviation design and engineering, influencing future large aircraft, but ultimately was not commercially successful.
