Ju-322 Mammut Glider

Experimental prototype.

The Junkers Ju 322 Mammut was a huge German transport-glider project intended to carry heavy equipment. Its largely wooden construction and enormous dimensions created difficult structural and handling problems. Flight testing proved unsatisfactory, and development was abandoned. The Mammut never became an operational heavy-lift transport system, unlike other German gliders and transports that did reach service. The demands placed on a heavy glider differed from those of a powered transport: it had to be towed safely, remain controllable with a heavy load, and survive landing without an engine-assisted recovery. The Ju 322’s failure therefore concerned practical handling and structures, not merely a lack of time to manufacture an otherwise proven aircraft.
