Messerschmitt M 24

The Messerschmitt M 24, also known as the BFW M.24, was an airliner developed in Germany in the late 1920s as a further development of the M 18, in the same series as the larger M 20. Like them it was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a fully enclosed cabin and a fixed tailwheel undercarriage, but it seated eight passengers instead of the ten of the M 20. Two prototypes were built with BMW and Junkers inline engines and two more with BMW-built Pratt and Whitney radials, but Messerschmitt proved unable to sell the design. The specification lists a 447 kW Hornet radial, a maximum speed of 220 km/h and an empty mass of 1,480 kg.
