In 1937, Claudius Dornier observed that adding more engines and propellers to an aircraft to increase speed would also create more drag. He believed that this could be minimized by adding the second engine in the rear of an aircraft. To prevent being tail heavy though, the engine would have to be placed farther up the fuselage. The Go 9 was then built to see if this theory would work.
