Albatros Dr.I

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Albatros Dr.I was a German fighter triplane derived from the Albatros D.V, fitted with three pairs of wings in place of two. It was identical in most other respects to the D.V, and in the summer of 1917 it was flown side by side with the standard D.V biplane in comparison trials. No discernible performance advantage was found, and development was halted at the prototype stage. It had a single pilot, a length of 7.3 metres and a wingspan of 8.7 metres, a 120 kilowatt Mercedes D.III six-cylinder water-cooled inline engine, and an armament of two LMG 08 machine guns.
