The Albatros L 77v was a German tandem two-seat reconnaissance fighter sesquiplane, four examples of which were built under licence for Albatros Flugzeugwerke by Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1928. Based on the L 76 Aeolus, it had a fabric-covered welded-steel fuselage and wooden dual-spar wings with plywood skins supported by N-type struts, and it was powered by a 450 kilowatt BMW VI water-cooled V12 engine. It was armed with two fixed forward-firing 7.92 millimetre machine guns and a third on a ring mounting in the rear cockpit. Three aircraft performed armament trials at Lipetsk in the Soviet Union, one of them testing a free-mounted 20 millimetre cannon, and the fourth was destroyed in tests in March 1929. The survivors were retired in October 1931.
