Designation and prototype identity Establish what Do 10 denotes and which records belong to it.
Designation crosswalk
Resolve names through dated documentary usage.
Do 10 name boundary
Record designation equivalences with their evidence and confidence, retaining unresolved C1/C4 usage rather than asserting an alias chain.
- Which contemporary documents explicitly equate Do 10 with Do C1 or Do C4, and how are those names written? provenance
- Does each designation refer to the whole design, a development stage, or one particular airframe? boundary
Prototype attribution
Connect observations to identifiable aircraft and dates.
Airframe-to-configuration link
Use registrations, factory numbers, captions, and modification records to prevent different prototype states from becoming one composite specification.
- Which factory numbers or registrations are securely associated with Do 10? provenance
- Which dated configuration does each photograph, drawing, or specification describe? boundary
Airframe and fighter role Define the recognition geometry and intended crew arrangement that make this design identifiable.
Recognition geometry
Test the reported airframe arrangement against drawings and photographs.
Configuration recognition tests
Establish wing support, cockpit placement, landing gear, and major dimensions as an evidence-backed recognition pattern.
- Do contemporary views confirm a parasol wing, one engine, and two crew stations, and what additional visible features distinguish Do 10? definition
- What span, length, and wing area are documented, and do the figures describe the same configuration? measurement
Crew and role equipment
Separate the intended two-seat fighter role from installed and tested equipment.
Intended versus equipped fighter
Record crew responsibilities, visibility constraints, and equipment status without treating a proposed fighter specification as a completed installation.
- What responsibilities were assigned to each crew station in the original requirement or design documentation? definition
- Which role-specific equipment was proposed, installed, or tested on each identified prototype? provenance
Propulsion and installation experiments Track powerplant configurations and investigate reported thrust-axis experiments.
Engine and propeller configuration
Associate powerplant evidence with the airframe state in which it applied.
Installed power basis
Record exact engine and propeller identities, rating conditions, and installation changes before assigning a power figure to Do 10.
- Which engine and propeller combination is documented for each prototype and trial period? provenance
- What power rating, rotational speed, and altitude conditions apply to that installation? measurement
Experimental installation status
Determine whether reported engine-tilting work was proposed, implemented, and demonstrated.
Thrust-axis experiment evidence
Keep the reported tilting installation as a research proposition until drawings or trial records establish its mechanism, extent, and use.
- What original evidence identifies a movable engine or thrust axis on Do 10, and to which airframe does it apply? provenance
- What movement, controls, stops, or locking provisions were documented, and which were actually tested? definition
Trial results and assessment limits Determine what Do 10 demonstrated and which judgments remain unsupported.
Performance attribution
Interpret numerical claims using their configuration and trial conditions.
Measured capability boundary
Retain the distinction between requirements, estimates, and measurements for speed, climb, range, and takeoff or landing behavior.
- Which performance figures come from measured trials, and what mass, engine setting, altitude, and weather accompanied them? measurement
- Do any original trials support improved short-field behavior, and what baseline and measurement definition were used? provenance
Restrictions and disposition
Connect documented defects, test permissions, and program outcomes to the claims an agent may make.
Evidence-limited assessment
Record configuration-specific limitations and documentary gaps; a historical specification alone cannot establish the condition or permitted use of an individual object.
- Which contemporary reports document handling problems, structural or propulsion defects, operating restrictions, or reasons for ending development? provenance
- What additional configuration, condition, and authorization evidence would be required before assessing a claimed survivor or reconstruction for any proposed physical use? action

What it is Filled
The Dornier Do 10 was a German two-seat fighter aircraft design developed in the early 1930s and built only as prototypes.
In scope
- Do 10 designation identity and evidence connecting earlier Dornier designations
- Recognition features and configuration-dependent airframe characteristics
- Engine, propeller, and experimental installation distinctions
- Intended fighter role versus demonstrated prototype capabilities
- Attribution of technical figures and test results to specific configurations
Out of scope
- Individual airframe ownership, custody, and maintenance logs
- Generic principles shared by all piston-engine aircraft
- Standalone models of engines, propellers, and installed equipment
- Dornier company history beyond identification and design provenance
- Other Dornier aircraft whose names contain C, 10, or X
- Flight authorization or operational instructions for a surviving aircraft or replica
Why it exists Filled
Enable an AI agent to identify records of the Dornier Do 10 aircraft design, distinguish prototype configurations, and judge which technical or historical conclusions the evidence supports.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Require an explicit Dornier Do 10 identification or a documented designation cross-reference; the bare number 10 is insufficient.
- Treat Do C4 as an archive-supported identification lead; require separate evidence before treating every C1 or C4 reference as this design.
- Test candidate photographs and drawings for the reported two-seat, single-engine parasol-monoplane arrangement; verify that recognition hypothesis against contemporary material.
- Distinguish Arabic-number Do 10 records from Roman-letter Do X records through the original caption and aircraft configuration.
- Separate evidence of an intended fighter configuration from evidence of later experimental equipment; neither automatically identifies the configuration of every prototype.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Invent specifications or service use for a type built only as prototypes.
- Present related designs as this type.
- Misuse its history to glorify a militarist regime.
Only with a human decision
- Attributing artefacts or remains to these prototypes.
May
- Identify photographs or records of this two-seat fighter prototype.
- Describe its development history from documented sources, noting gaps.
Moral aspects Filled
- Aircraft of the early 1930s rearmament era are tied to a dark political history.
- Fabricated details distort the record.
Who is affected
- Historians
- Readers
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody: no examples survive; archives hold its records.
