The Albatros L.66 was a simple, low-powered, two-seat sports and training parasol-wing monoplane built in Germany in the mid-1920s, intended as a low-cost, easy-to-maintain aircraft. The prototype used a 30 horsepower Haacke HFM-2 flat-twin engine, though other engines could be fitted. The wing was a wooden cantilever structure, and the fuselage was a departure from earlier Albatros practice, built of welded steel tube covered in fabric, with pilot and passenger side by side. The first L.66 was flying in mid-1924 and ten were built in all. Variants included the larger L.66a and the lighter L.67 with a Bristol Cherub or Anzani engine, of which two were built.
