225:. It was originally designed by Ernst Zindel as a single-engine aircraft. Under the restrictions imposed on aircraft in Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, only low powered engines were allowed. So the Junkers company designed their large G 24 airliner to be single-engined, but built it as a tri-motor. With three low powered engines the G 24 could fly, but was not a viable airliner. The plan was to sell the tri-motors to airlines outside of Germany, who would then install a single, high-powered engine (e.g. 450 hp Napier Lion) on the nose, and simply remove the wing center-section plugs that carried the other two engines.

effectively participate in the manufacturing process up to the aircraft's final assembly; it also facilitated ground transportation (sections could be easily loaded upon ordinary trucks) and the substitution of damaged sections. In the event of an engine sustaining damage, it could have been quickly removed and replaced. It was also possible to remove the complete wing section, including the engine and its mounting.

The useable volume within the fuselage was relatively high towards the rear, a element that proved to be quite convenient for the travelling public as passengers did not have to remain in allocated positions, unlike many other airliners of the era, as equilibrium was maintained via adjustments made by the pilot to the stabiliser throughout the flight.

The G 24s operated by Luft Hansa also had blind flying instruments and radio navigation (with the radio operator sitting in the passenger cabin, as there was no room in the open two seat cockpit.

Junkers offered the K 30 design to the Soviet forces, which ordered a total of 23 K 30s in 1925 and 1926. A production line for the military version K 30 was set up at A.B. Flygindustri at

Junkers continued to build the G 24/G 23 as a tri-motor, because the ruse to circumvent the Allied restrictions also had the benefit that the plane could fly, and even climb, with one engine out. In 1925 most airliners were single-engined, since one big engine will usually be more efficient than

aircraft. In response, Junkers prepared the Ju 25 twin-engine bomber. However, the development of this aircraft was deemed to be too expensive by
Junkers, especially in light of several difficulties with his Russian partners. Accordingly, Junkers instructed his lead designers – Ernst Zindel and

Luft Hansa, which operated the largest G 24 fleet in the world, decided to modify their G 24s to a single engine standard. The first such modifications were performed in March 1928. The wing was shortened and the center engine was replaced with a BMW VIU engine. Junkers called this aircraft

Junkers then resubmitted what was essentially the same design, but under a new designation: Junkers G23. The Allied
Commission ultimately allowed Junkers to build the G23, even in the single engined version, because it was clearly an airline type. The plane was always marketed under the G 24
