Daimler CL.I

Military Aircraft

The Daimler CL.I was a prototype two-seat fighter built in Germany during the First World War. The Daimler Motorengesellschaft works built it under the internal designation L8, and it first flew in 1917 but never entered production. It was powered by a single Daimler D.IIIb water-cooled V-8 engine of 138 kilowatts, had a crew of two, and carried a fixed forward machine gun with a second gun on a flexible mount in the rear cockpit. Its top speed was about 150 km/h and its endurance four hours. In 1919 the type was offered for export to the Chilean Air Force, but no sale followed. It belongs to the line of Daimler aircraft designed in the last years of the war at the Sindelfingen works.
