Junkers T 29 29 pioneered the patented Junkers "Doppelflügel" "double wing" control system - whose concept was used through to the Third Reich's Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" dive bomber - using full span ailerons, later used for both ailerons and flaps, hinged just below the wing trailing edge and fully exposing the entire control surface cross-section to the slipstream, forming a slot between the two surfaces. In normal flight these were used as standard ailerons, but they could be lowered like flaps for landing whilst retaining the differential movement needed for lateral control. The fuselage was flat sided with rounded decking, the Junkers
Junkers J 1 flown the "Flyer I" biplane in December 1903. On 12 December 1915, the aircraft made its brief maiden flight, flown by "Leutnant" Theodor Mallinckrodt of FEA 1, during which an altitude of almost was reached. Greater altitudes and performance was achieved during subsequent flights. By the end of January 1916, Junkers had been given a contract to further develop his all-metal concept, and the later Junkers J 2 single-seat fighter, which would never see frontline service, was the follow-on to the J 1.
