Dornier Flugzeugwerke was a
Germany aircraft manufacturer founded in
Friedrichshafen in
1914 by Claudius Dornier. Over the course of its long lifespan, the company produced many notable designs for both the civil and military markets.
History
Dornier, originally
Dornier Metallbau rose to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s in aviation and as a manufacturer of large
flying boats, remarkable at the time for their all-metal construction. These included the
Dornier Wal ("Whale") of
1924 and the colossal
Dornier Do X. Dornier also built a series of successful land planes, including the
Dornier Komet ("Comet") and
Dornier Merkur ("Mercury") that were used by Luft Hansa and other European carriers during the 1920s and early 30s. Of note, Dornier built its aircraft outside Germany, during much of this period, in compliance with the restrictions placed on German aircraft manufacturers by the Treaty of Versailles. Foreign factories licence-building Dornier products included CMASA and
Piaggio in Italy, Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA in
Spain,
Kawasaki Heavy Industries in
Japan, and
Aviolanda in the
Netherlands. Once the Nazism government came to power and abandoned the treaty's restrictions, Dornier resumed production in Germany.
Dornier's most significant military aircraft design before and during World War II was the Dornier Do 17, nicknamed
The Flying Pencil. It was developed and first flown in 1934 as a commercial aircraft in competition for a Lufthansa contract. Due to its narrow fuselage (hence its nickname) it was not commercially attractive and was passed over by Lufthansa. Dornier then further developed it as a military aircraft with a prototype bomber first flying in 1935. It was employed by Loyalist forces in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. Production continued within Germany and this versatile two-engined aircraft was developed by the Luftwaffe into multiple combat variations. The medium
bomber aircraft variant saw much service during the early part of
World War II including extensive use in the
Battle of Britain. It was later developed into an effective
nightfighter to defend Germany from the RAF bomber offensive. Of note, Dornier also developed the fastest piston-engined
fighter aircraft of the war, the two-engined Dornier Do 335, introduced too late to enter combat service.
After WWII, aircraft production was again forbidden in Germany, and Dornier relocated to Spain and then to Switzerland where the firm provided aeronautical consultancy services until once again returning to Germany in
1954. Post-war, Dornier quickly re-established itself with highly successful small STOL transports such as the Dornier Do 27 and Dornier Do 28. Additionally, in 1974 it developed the Dassault Breguet Dornier Alpha Jet as part of a joint venture with
France aircraft manufacturers
Dassault Aviation. The plane was well received and established itself as the new standard NATO Trainer (aircraft) during the 1970s and 80s.
In 1985 Dornier became a member of the
Daimler-Benz group integrating its aeronautic assets with the parent company. As part of this transaction, Lindauer DORNIER GmbH was spun-off, creating a separate, family-owned firm, concentrating on textile machinery design and manufacturing.
In
1996 the majority of Dornier was acquired by Fairchild (aircraft manufacturer), forming
Fairchild Dornier. This company became insolvent in early 2002. Production of its 328Jet was acquired by US company Avcraft. Asian interests continued to show interest in its 728 version in August, 2004, but production had not re-started.
Dornier Medtech manufactures medical equipment, such as the
Dornier S lithotriptor to treat kidney stones.
