Шаблон:Distinguish

The Aviatik D.II was a prototype German single-seat biplane fighter aircraft built by Шаблон:Lang during World War I. Only a single aircraft was built, but no production order followed. It later had its conventional wings replaced by bird-shaped wings and has been referred to as the Geest Fighter in this guise. Further development was discontinued.

Background and description

Шаблон:Lang had been building the Halberstadt D.II fighter under license as the Aviatik D.I, but decided to build a prototype of their own design in late 1916. The D.II was a single-bay, staggered-wing biplane with fabric-covered wooden wings and a single cockpit. The aircraft was powered by a single water-cooled, Шаблон:Convert Mercedes D.III six-cylinder inline engine using a two-bladed fixed-pitch propeller. The forward fuselage was built from steel tubes with a metal skin while the wooden rear fuselage was skinned with plywood. It was armed with a pair of fixed, synchronized Шаблон:Cvt LMG 08/15 machine guns in the forward fuselage. The prototype's performance was mediocre and it was not ordered into production.[1][2]

Geest Fighter

Before the war's beginning in 1914, Dr. Шаблон:Ill designed and built a series of six monoplanes using his Seagull (Шаблон:Lang) gull wing design that was intended to compensate for forward or lateral gusts of wind "by a varying angle of incidence and dihedral throughout the wing planform".[3] In 1917, the conventional wings that had been fitted to the Aviatik D.II were replaced by staggered wings designed by Geest with curved leading edges and raked ailerons on the upper wing.[4] During testing, the single-bay aircraft had a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert and reached a height of Шаблон:Convert in 17.5 minutes, but further development was not continued.[5][6]
