The Do31 was an experimental tactical
transport
designed during the 1960's when the German
Luftwaffe
had concerns about the vulnerability
of their airfields
to attack and investigated the use of dispersed
airfields
including autobahn.
However these airfields required
aircraft with V/STOL capability.
A number of VTOL fighter aircraft projects
were under
development and the Do31 was intended to
support
these
aircraft. Three examples of the Do31 were built,
two for flight testing and one for static
testing.
The prototype
first flew in 1967, and progressed to full
VTOL transitioning,
but the project was cancelled
in
1970 due to high
costs, technical problems and a
realisation of the difficulties inherent with
VTOL
operations.
Both examples
which flew are preserved in German
Museums.
