Junkers Ju.352

The Ju 352 development was based on wood in order not to use strategic materials. Power was provided by three 894kW Bramo 323R-2 engines. Production of this version totalled 43 or 44.

One of the features of the Ju 352 was its Trapoklappe hydraulically-operated loading ramp. Incorporating its own central stairway, this ramp, when lowered, raised the aircraft to a near horizontal position which facilitated easy loading and unloading. Another feature were its reversible pitch propellers.

T9+AB

A total of ten pre-production Ju 352 A-0s and 33 A-1 production aircraft were completed before construction was halted in September 1944.

A number of Ju 352 were delivered to Versuchsverband including T9+AB, T9+MB and T9+AL.
