OCTOBER 7, 1926 MODERN GERMAN 3-ENGINED MACHINES The latest Junkers Monoplane G31 : Although Germany has been released from the restrictions imposed by the Allies for but a very short time, the Junkers Works of Dessau have al- ready completed a new machine of some 100 sq. m. (1,076 sq. ft.) wing area. The width of the fuselage is in the neighbourhood of 10 ft., and below the floor of the saloon is a large space for luggage and goods. The three engines are Junkers, developing a total of more than 1,000 h.p. The Rohrhach " Roland " : At the moment, when it is rumoured that the Beardmore works at Dalmuir have under con- struction a large three- engined monoplane, this photograph of the Rohrbach " Ro- land " is of interest. It would appear that in this machine also Dr. Rohrbach has " practised what he preaches " concerning high wing loading. Need- less to say, the machine is of all- metal construction. The Rohrbach " Roland " : Close- up view showing the three engines, the undercarriage, &c. Note the single " funk-wire " on each side. The en- gines are carefully disguised, but are obviously 6-cylin- dei verticals. The saloon has accom- modation for ten passengers. 664
