An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

First conceived by Dr. Claudius Dornier in 1924, planning started in late 1925. Construction work started on 19 December 1927, and the Do X was completed in June 1929, after over 240,000 work hours. Launched on 12 July 1929, the Do X immediately began taxiing trials. These soon led to 122 flights conducted over the following six months, during which time the aircraft was briefly grounded, to allow replacement of the original Bristol Jupiter engines by Curtiss Conquerors. The most notable of these flights occurred on 31 October 1929, when the Do X set a maximum take off weight record by taking to the air while carrying 10 crew, 150 official passengers and nine stowaways!
