Focke-Wulf A 16

The Focke-Wulf A 16 was a German three or four passenger light transport monoplane designed by Heinrich Focke and Georg Wulf, and it was the first design built by the Focke-Wulf company after the two founders formed it in 1924. It was an all-wood high-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration with a thick wing section. The pilot sat in an open cockpit above the wing while the passengers rode in the enclosed fuselage below, and the tailskid undercarriage carried large wheels on each side of the fuselage. Georg Wulf made the first flight on 23 June 1924. At least 20 aircraft were built, though Airbus Industrie in Bremen counts 23, and variants used Mercedes, Junkers and Siemens-Halske engines of 85 to 120 horsepower.
