DORNIER DO 131

Based on the principle and knowledge derived from the Do 31 experimental program, several V/STOL military and civil transport projects were trained. In the current design, the two Rolls Royce RB.168-25 type cruise engines were installed in nacelles carried by pylons under the wing, and a total of 14 RB.162-81 type lift engines located in nacelles integrated into the thirds. outer sides of the wing halves. The Do 131B version was supposed to have a more fuel-efficient cruise engine with a higher bypass ratio and turbofan engines.

Based on the principle and conclusions of the Do 31 experimental program, several V/STOL military and civil transport aircraft designs were investigated. In this design, the two Rolls Royce RB.168-25 cruise engines were arranged in nacelles on struts in the wings and the total of 14 RB.162-81 lift engines were integrated in special nacelles in the outer thirds of the wings. The Do 131B version was planned with more fuel-efficient cruise engines with higher bypass ratio and dual-circuit lift engines.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find more information about this concept since there is little information about this model. I believe that a page from the Dornier book may be the only source of complete information about the Dornier Do-131.
