Technical Description

Low wing cantilever monoplane. All-metal single-spar structure with flush riveted stressed skin metal covering. Outer wings are attached to the fuselage at three points – two on the flanges of the single spar at right angles to each other and a third at the leading edge to transmit torsional loads. Entire trailing edge is hinged, the outer portion acting as slotted ailerons and the inner portions as camber-changing flaps. Engine coolant radiators, one on each side of fuselage, partially buried in the wing. Ailerons have external mass balances. Handley Page auto slots on outer portion of leading edges.

Fuselage is an oval all-metal stressed skin structure in two halves with longitudinal joints top and bottom. Each half is made up of a number of longitudinal stringers and a series of vertical panels. Every other panel has its edges flanged to form ‘Z’ frames and these frames are holed to let the stringers pass through. The flanged panels have their edges treated so that the alternate plain panels may be flush riveted to give a completely smooth outer surface. The longitudinals have a single row of rivets to the outer skin only. Each half of the fuselage is butt-jointed top and bottom to a double-width longitudinal.

Cantilever monoplane type tail unit. Balanced rudder and elevators. Metal framework with metal-covered fixed surfaces and fabric covered movable surfaces.

Retractable type undercarriage with narrow track. Wheels raised upwards and outwards by hydraulic jacks. Auxiliary manual raising gear. Semi-retractable tail wheel.

Technical Description

Low-wing cantilever monoplane. Centre-section built integral with the fuselage and set at a coarse anhedral. Outer wing panels, tapering in chord and thickness set at a coarse dihedral. Two-spar structure with closely-spaced ribs and stressed skin metal covering. Entire trailing edge of wings and centre section hinged on Junkers ‘double wing’ principle, outer portions acting as ailerons and inner portions acting as landing flaps. Diving brakes are fitted beneath front spars and outboard of landing gear legs. They are hinged clear of the undersurface of the wings and in normal flight are edge-on to the airstream. For dive attack they are turned through ninety degrees to present a flat plate area to airflow.

Fuselage is an oval section structure of light metal construction. Made in two halves and joined on the centre line. The smooth metal skin is riveted to ‘Z’ section frames and open section stringers. The two halves of the fuselage are joined by two internal angles riveted together.

Braced monoplane type tail unit. Junkers ‘double wing’ tailplane and elevators. Tailplane braced below to fuselage. Cantilever fin and rudder. All metal structure with smooth sheet covering. Trimming tabs in movable surfaces.

Two coolant radiators beneath centre-section, one on each side of fuselage. Fuel tanks in wings have a capacity of 770 litres. Two 300 litre auxiliary fuel tanks can be fitted beneath wings.

Provision for pilot and air gunner in tandem seats over wing and covered by continuous canopy with hinged and sliding sections. Two 15mm MG 151 machineguns with 225 rounds per gun in wings on either side of the fuselage outside area swept by the airscrew, and two 7.92mm MG81 with 225 rounds per gun on flexible mount in the rear cockpit.

Technical Description

Low-wing cantilever monoplane. Middle portion built into fuselage, of which it forms the undersurface. Wings joined by typical Junkers screw couplings. Eight duralumin tube spars, arranged in pairs vertically over one another and braced with short struts to each other. The corrugated metal skin stiffens the wing against torsion. Along whole of trailing edge runs a flap mounted to give double wing effect. This can be use to vary the camber and so increase the lift of the wing. The outer sections are operated differentially as ailerons and are horn balanced.

Fuselage is of rectangular section, with domed decking. Duralumin frames and bracing of simple channel section, together with four longerons, compose frame. Stressed skin of corrugated light metal sheeting.

Normal monoplane type tail unit, with semi-cantilever tailplane passing through the top of the fuselage and braced to the underside of same, with a single strut on each side. Elevator of double-wing construction like wing and aileron, and horn balanced. The whole of all-metal construction with corrugated metal covering. Tailplane adjustable in flight.

Divided type undercarriage. Half-axles and radius rods hinged to fuselage. Oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers attached to upper wing root of foremost spar. Compressed air brakes. Twin-step floats can replace wheels.
