Albatros D.IX

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Albatros D.IX was a German prototype single-seat fighter built in early 1918. It differed from the earlier models in having a simplified fuselage with a flat bottom and slab sides, while the wings and tail were similar to those of the Albatros D.VII. A 130 kilowatt Mercedes D.IIIa engine powered it and it was armed with twin synchronised 7.92 millimetre LMG 08/15 machine guns firing through the propeller disc. The prototype reached a maximum speed of 154 kilometres per hour and showed disappointing performance, so the project was discontinued.
