The first 100,000 km of a newspaper transport aircraft.
On March 29, a Heinkel newspaper transport flight in the daily air service of a large Berlin publishing house , Hegende, covered its 100,000 kilometers
. This extraordinary achievement, which was accomplished without interruption or significant disruption, and which can therefore be regarded as a game-changer
for the express service freight transport of the future, deserves all the more recognition because this is the first attempt by a private company to increase its efficiency and profitability by employing its own aircraft. According to the experience gained with the Heinkel tool, this experiment has not only fully met expectations, but even far exceeded them Every day and to the minute, this aircraft took over its heavy newspaper load at Tempelhof Central Airport , took it to often remote provincial towns in the shortest possible time and returned to the airport just as punctually. In this way, a total of 85,400 kg of newspapers, i.e. about 1308,200 copies, have been transported in this way in 11 months of flight service so far, and - as already mentioned - a total of 100,000 air kilometres have been covered. This
is a world record achievement in its field, which in turn is convincing proof of the high performance and operational reliability not
only of the aircraft, but also of the installed BMW IV engine. It should be added that this Heinkel aircraft, type H.D.39, is built as a normal biplane and can carry a normal payload of 400 kg at a horizontal speed of 166 km/h
Heinkel Zeitungstransportflugzeuge.
Das Flugzeug H D39 hat vor einiger Zeit seinen 100000ten Flug-kilometer ohne Störung zurückgelegt (siehe Flugsport Heft 8, S. 160). Nachdem sich das Baumuster, wie vorstehender Erfolg zeigt, sehr gut bewährt hat, beabsichtigt Heinkel. denselben weiterzuentwickeln. In aller Kürze wird daher ein neuer Zeitungstransport-Typ im Flugbetrieb erscheinen, der statt bisher 230 PS nunmehr 500 PS hat und bei 4 Stunden Flugzeit eine Zeitungslast von 1000 kg trauen wird.
Die vorstehende Abbildung läßt die Raumeinteilung der HD 39 erkennen. Vorn befinden sich in den Abwurfvorrichtungen Zeitungspakete. Dahinter ein weiterer Raum für Passagiere, Zeitungen oder Fracht. Für den Ueberseetranspoit wird diese Maschine in verhältnismäßig kleinen Kisten verpackt. Für die internationalen Interessenten dürften diese Kistenmaße, welche aus obenstehender Abbildung hervorgehen, nützlich sein.

Heinkel newspaper transport aircraft.
Some time ago, the H D39 aircraft covered its 100,000th flight kilometre without malfunction (see Flugsport Heft 8, p. 160). Since the prototype has proven itself very well, as the above success shows, Heinkel intends to do so. to develop it further. Therefore, a new type of newspaper transport will soon appear in flight operations, which now has 500 hp instead of the previous 230 hp and will trust a newspaper load of 1000 kg with 4 hours of flight time.
The above illustration shows the room layout of the HD 39. At the front, there are newspaper packages in the ejection devices. Behind it is another room for passengers, newspapers or freight. For overseas transpoit, this machine is packed in relatively small boxes. For the international interested parties, these box dimensions, which can be seen in the figure above, should be useful.
