Albatros Projects

[hesham]

Hi,


I hope that if we could speak about Albatros projects only,we know most
aircraft built by this Germany company.


The Albatros C.XI was two seat recce biplane project,developed from C.VI,
also called L-26,no more details are known.

 

[hesham]

Hi,


Albatros D.XIII and D.XIV were uncompleted single seat fighter biplanes,also
no more details,except for D.XIV,it was equipped by one 180 hp BMW IIIa
engine.

D XIII : Mercedes 160hp , span 9,5 ; length 5,85 .
D XIV : B.M.W 185hp , sp. 8,8 ; l. 6,2 .

 

[hesham]

Excellent my dear Richard,


thank you very much,and the Albatros D.XV was a single seat fighter biplane
project,never materialized.

 

[hesham]

Hi,


the Albatros J.III was a ground attack aircraft but was never completed,and
it was taken the L-48 designation.

 

[hesham]

Hi,


here is the Albatros L-84 fighter with V-tail,it could be a project.

 

[vigair]

Hi Hesham,
Albatros L84 is a two seat fighter developed on L76 with a butterfly tail and BMW VIU 660 PS first flight 1932 but crashed, a second
was built (D 1899).

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Vigair.

 

[hesham]

Hi,


the Albatros G.IV or L-50 was a heavy bomber project,but no more details
are known.

 

[hesham]

Hi,


has anyone a drawing to D.VI single seat twin boom fighter pusher aircraft ?.

 

[richard]

Hello


I have only this bad pic , and a patent which could be related with D VI

 

[hesham]

Thank you my dear Richard,


it is not bad at all,it is nice.


Also the Albatrod D.VIII (L-35) was a single seat biplane fighter project,no details
are known.

 

[Jemiba]

... and a patent which could be related with D VI

Judging the frontal view, the D.VII could have been a pusher prop aircraft, with girder booms. But I'm trying to
figure out, how those booms could have been tilted to the fuselage, as they seem to be connected to the wing.
Maybe the wing should be rotated ?

 

[Avimimus]

When brought inwards to the fuselauge they intersect the propeller?!

I'm thinking: Naval plane? Compact storage -> Catapult launch -> Land at shore?

 

[Jemiba]

Maybe to ease transport and re-assembling ? Main means of transport of aircraft during that era
probably was by train. without disassembly aircraft would have exceeded the loading gauge.
On arrival it probably took quite long to get the aircraft servicable again. Simply folding could have
sped up this process.

 

[hesham]

Hi,


the Albatros L-3 or GDD was an aircraft powered by 100 hp Gnome engine,
but no more details,who know this aircraft ?.

 

[Maveric]

Albatros L.3

 

[hesham]

Great find my dear Maveric,


the Albatros L-56 was a 4/5 seat biplane light transport aircraft project,powered
by one Benz Bz IV engine,but I found no drawing to it.

 

[richard]

L.51 Postflugzeug and L.52 trainer were a little improved pre-War B.II .


L.56 was a modified C.V for a pilot and four passengers .


L.57 was the forerunner of the well known L.58

 

[hesham]
