The Junkers Ju 49 high-altitude research aircraft of 1931 pursued scientific investigation of the upper atmosphere with specialised design. Its two-crew layout accommodated pilot and researcher, while the exceptionally large 28.2-metre span generated lift at thin-air altitudes. The modest 146 km/h speed prioritised altitude capability over horizontal performance.
