Albatros L 84

Military Aircraft

The Albatros L 84 was a German tandem two-seat, single-bay fighter sesquiplane first flown in 1931. Four of the five examples produced were built by Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau, into which Albatros Flugzeugwerke was amalgamated that year. Powered by a water-cooled 490 kilowatt BMW VIu V12 engine, it had a fabric-covered welded-steel fuselage and wooden wings skinned with plywood, and was armed with three 7.92 millimetre machine guns, two fixed forward-firing and one ring-mounted in the rear cockpit. Only the first prototype was completed before Albatros became part of Focke-Wulf, and it was destroyed in flight testing. The Reichswehr ordered twelve but cancelled the order after three had been completed, and at least one was delivered to China.
