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
