Dux Factory

Dux (Russian: Завод «Дукс», romanized: Zavod "Duks") was a bicycle/automobile/aircraft factory in Moscow, Russia before and during World War I.

Julius Möller (also written Juli Meller) was owner of the factory, which was primarily focused on the building of French aircraft designs.

[1] During World War I Dux produced Morane-Saulnier G, Voisin L, Voisin LAS, Nieuport 17, Nieuport 24, Farman family of aircraft including models IV, VII, XVI, XXX, as well as a large number of military bicycles.

Civil programs include MiG-AT, T-101, T-411, and Aviatika MAI-890 aircraft.

[1] The majority of types built by Dux were French and other Western aircraft designs.

A more ambitious project was the Dux Meller I which combined a Bleriot main fuselage with a Farman XV nacelle added, all driven by a 100 hp Gnome-Rhone in pusher configuration.

A modified Farman XVI was later produced under the name Dux Meller II and flown in 1913.

The following Dux Meller III was a failed attempt to produce a single-engine twin-propeller chain-driven monoplane.
