The Albatros W.3, company designation VT, was a biplane torpedo bomber floatplane prototype built for the Imperial German Navy during the First World War, and only one was built. It was designed from the outset as a torpedo bomber, a large two-bay biplane powered by two 112 kilowatt Benz Bz.III engines in pusher configuration mounted on top of the lower wing. The flat-sided fuselage formed a belly that housed the torpedo, and twin floats, about half as long as the fuselage, stood on individual struts to allow the torpedo to be released between them. The aircraft was supplied to the Navy in July 1916, and the design was developed into the W.5, of which five were built in 1917.
