The Albatros D.IV was an experimental German fighter aircraft built and tested during the First World War. It was designed to test a geared version of the 120 kW Mercedes D.III engine, which, unlike the ungeared version, sat completely enclosed within the fuselage. The airframe basically combined the wing cellule of the D.II with the fuselage of the D.Va. Three examples were ordered in November 1916, but only one was flown. It was tested with several types of propeller, but excessive vibration and limited performance gains ruled out further development.
