Albatros W.8

Flying Boats and Seaplanes

The Albatros W.8 was a German biplane fighter floatplane that saw service during the First World War, patrolling the seas around 1918. Its fuselage was made of wood, like most aircraft designs of the period. It was powered by a water-cooled Benz Bz.IIIb eight-cylinder engine of 138 kilowatts, fitted with a fixed two-bladed wooden propeller. The crew was two, and the armament was one light machine gun fixed forward and one in a flexible rear mount. The published specifications give a length of 9.95 metres, a wingspan of 11.46 metres, a maximum speed of 150 kilometres per hour, a range of 500 kilometres and an endurance of 3.5 hours.
