3 unusual facts about Junkers Ju 90


Junkers Ju 90

The Junkers Ju 90 was a 40-seat, four-engine airliner developed for and used by Deutsche Luft Hansa shortly before World War II.

Deutsche Luft Hansa put a request for a long-distance commercial aircraft as early as 1933.

On the first four Ju 90As, there were five pairs of rectangular windows on each side, each double pair lighting a divided-off section of the cabin containing eight seats in facing pairs on either side of a central aisle.

The Ju 89 also inspired the Junkers Ju 90 after Deutsche Lufthansa requested a passenger version with lower-powered engines.
