Junkers J 1000 Riesenente by kitchener.lord on Flickr.

Another futuristic design was the J1000 aka Riesenente (“giant duck”) developed by Dr. Otto Mader in 1924. This design was developed specially for Hugo Junkers’ travel to the United States. Junkers and Zindel (Junkers Flugzeugbau chief engineer since 1922) presented the J1000 design as a future transport aircraft, which was also usable as a transatlantic aircraft for passengers. Routes over Iceland, Greenland and Canada were already discussed by Junkers.
