Hugo Junkers
Hugo Junkers (3 February 1859–1935) was an aero inventor whose firm developed the first all-metal fighter airplane.[1]
Junkers studying electrical engineering and thermodynamics in Berlin, then went to work for Deutsche Continental Gasgesellschaft. There he worked on an early two-stroke engine and invented a calorimeter which he exhibited at the 1893 Columbian Exhibition in Chicago.[2]
Junkers partnered with Anthony Fokker to create Junkers-Fokker-Werke AG near the end of the war.
Junkers filed a 1910 patent from Aachen-Frankenberg.
