The Giant Airliner With Cabins In Its Wings | Junkers G38 [Aircraft Overview #19]

Soviet engineers already in 1930 created even more grandiose airplane called "ANT-20"
Thanks to Stalin's reforms, Soviet industry was able to accomplish this task
It was not until the Communists came to power that mass industrialization began in Russia

Seats in the wings? Does that sound like Fallout 4 to you?

Great video!

I would sell my kidney to experience an authentic flight onboard this majestic plane

I always thought it was crazy the plane came only a few years after the car

Tell me if I’m off base here….

I think anyone in engineering or aeronautics in the early 1900s trying to sell bespoke aero birds



Probably don’t call yourself “junkers”

Destined to fail

Thank you for this very interesting documentation. 👍👍🙏🙏

Aircrafts like these should be revived for tourism

The noise must have been deafening.

JUNKERS...perfect name

HUGHES WAS NOWHERE NEARLY AS ADVANCED AT THAT TIME!!!

Thats sad

Piece of junk. End of story.

Thank you so much for presenting this masterclass in not only HOW to present the wonders of the past (without raucous background, stupid and pointless transitions or effects), and speaking calmly, respectfully, and with an obviously great deal of love and well-studied knowledge of the subject - and carefully aligning your pictorial documentation with your dialog. Sadly, these relatively simple documentary/informational techniques are VERY uncommon these days.
At 73, I had forgotten this story - but you brought it back, and really brought it into focus - back to life. It's shocking - the speed at which an important technology develops - all these wonderful, incredible behemoths of the air, were designed only a little over 20 years after the Wright Brothers flew their wire-and-paper air machine at Kitty Hawk; and not forty+ years later, We were on the Moon, sending pictures, voice and data back to Earth - Live!! And it is due to underwater cable-lines and satellites, that we were watching, as one species, together, for the first time, as the first member of Humanity stood on the moon.
Things like this airplane can become lost chapters in history - unless someone makes therm amazing memories. But they are an integral part of our progress - every generation seems to have at least one person who can push up the ladder with a massive leap forward, by dreaming big, and then making those dreams real. Unfortunately (as always seems to be the case) a war started, and his talents and dreams were diverted to develop new and better ways to kill people, in a war of aggression his own country started. But even that doesn't stop me from appreciating his peace-time creativity and brilliance.
Thank you for not letting these technological "magic moments" fall by the wayside, or be overshadowed.

Such a cool plane.

Not watching the video, so the thumbnail may be trolling... but, why put the identifiers on top of the wings? Was someone supposed to be above them calling out, or finding wreckage?

Just found this man’s channel in 2024 & INSTANTLY SUBSCRIBED! Idk how or why this channel wasn’t recommended to me earlier!? Im glad to have found it during my research of the old Soviet Steel Monster The Kalinin K7!

Very interesting... Thanks

Fun concept but really really stupid

Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative video. Great job. Keep it up.

Amazing. I never heard of these aircraft before.

Have you heard of K-7?

Amazing!
The passenger was right there, in front of the wing--experiencing the journey like flying a paramotor 😅

If my husband were Emperor, he’d fund all science including the alternative to jet engine commercial airliners to the super-giant floatplane theories pondered.

When grandparents would talk of airlines more like trains, folding down beds and bathtubs, greed not the end-all, imagination bloomed.

There was logic too, almost every city being built by a body of water even rivers.

Some of his own students theorized a flying wing also manta ray submarine shark thingy.

doesn't even seem like a real plane lol... cool doco!

I'am from Dessau, which was known for Junkers. This city got so unknown since the bombing in WWII. Junker isnt herer anymore and only old poeple live here...😢

Cabins in the wings? That’s like the jets from Fallout!

Wow, where did these men, back then, get their engineering genius from?
I mean the industrial age was so new back then, yet it took off because of men like these.

But if born a bit earlier, how would they have satisfied their engineering brains if born in era of horse and buggies?

Its really futuristic yet classical.

What a plane!!!

OMG! I would have wanted one of the forward facing seats at the wing root! 👍

At the outset I thought I was watching fantasy film. This thing looks totally unreal and unflyable! GREAT video, my friend!

On your left will be a wonderful view of Paris. WAIT STOP STANDING IN THE LEFT WING! Mayday mayday, inversion!

I read the title as "The Giant Airliner With Cannabis In Its Wings".
Slightly disappointed.

Todavía no llego a explicarme como ese monstruo podía volar. Es un milagro de la técnica aeronáutica.

Be mindful that its written Luft Hansa against Lufthansa

Absolutely stunning!

Imagine the noise from the engines in those inner wing leading edge cabins! You wouldn't even be able to hear yourself fart!!!

I would hope that in addition to the wing passengers seating warning's regarding vertigo, that complimentary hearing protection was provided due to being seated in such close proximity to the inboard engine(s) and propeller(s)!

I think 100 years ago people experimented a lot more than we do today

Do any still exist?

I'm surprised Hitler didn't choose this for his own use. Just saying.

The world needs a geeky billionaire to spend a few million to recreate some of these inter-war giants. Compared to the cost of a private 757 or a superyacht it's not a huge ask. 20 or 30 million would round it up and while recouping the build cost may never happen you would more than pay for the upkeep by doing bespoke air tours of Europe in one. What a sight they would be!

Cby3 Burnelli. Canadian built. On display at the New England Air Museum. Lifting body , 2 wright engines. Operated in Canada and South America.

what a cool design... I wish this had actually caught on and existed today.
