The Junkers F 13 is available in four variants: vintage with standard terrestrial landing gear (wheels), vintage with floats, vintage with skis, and a replica variation. The aircraft comes with three liveries: Vintage, Aviators Club, and Xbox Aviators Club.
The F 13 is a single-engine, low-wing monoplane by German aircraft manufacturer Junkers. The F 13, which took its first flight on June 25, 1919, was one of early aviation’s most innovative aircraft. It was the world’s first all-metal transport airplane, using Duralumin (an aluminum alloy), and boasted a number of cutting-edge engineering implementations, notably in its wing design. Crewed by two, with seating in its cabin for four, more than 300 F 13s were manufactured during its 13-year production run. The sturdily-built, reliable, and stable aircraft served throughout the globe, with some flying into the early 1950s.
The F 13 features a cantilever main wing, requiring no external bracing, which was unique at the time for an aircraft of its size. The wing has a straight leading edge and a span of 48 feet, 7 inches. The aircraft has a traditional empennage and a standard undercarriage that is easily convertible to floats.
Over the course of its production run, Junkers used a variety of in-line and radial engines to power the F 13. These included the 6-cylinder, in-line 158-horsepower Mercedes D.IIIa, the 6-cyliner, in-line 306-horsepower Junkers, the 6-cylinder, in-line 355-horsepower BMW Va, and others. This model uses a supercharged 9-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-985-AN-14B Wasp Junior radial piston engine that delivers 450 horsepower to a fixed-pitch, 2-blade propeller. It has a range of 870 miles, climbs at 470 feet per minute, and has a service ceiling of 16,700 feet above sea level. It cruises at 100 miles per hour and has a top speed of 106 mph.
Futuristic for its day with its angular, simple design, the Junkers F 13 has proven to be an enduring masterpiece of aerospace engineering. The simulator version combines the pleasurable performance of this vintage classic from 1919 with the safety characteristics of a modern aircraft. Aviators will cherish their time in the cockpit of the F 13, which performs as well as it looks, from takeoff to landing.
