Albatros L 68

The Albatros L 68 Alauda was a two-seat German trainer aircraft of the 1920s, a single-engine biplane of conventional configuration that seated the pilot and instructor in tandem, open cockpits. The wings were of unequal span and had a pronounced stagger. The original version had a Siemens-Halske Sh 11 engine and three were built; the L 68a, with a longer wingspan and an Sh 12 engine, was also built in three; the main production L 68c, based on the L 68a, in ten; and single examples of the L 68d and L 68e were made. The L 68c had a maximum speed of 140 kilometres per hour and a range of 360 kilometres.
