Albatros D.IX

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albatros D.IX was a prototype single-seat fighter built in early 1918. It differed from previous marks by using a simplified fuselage with a flat bottom and slab sides. The wings and tail were similar to those of the Albatros D.VII. Power was provided by a 180 hp Mercedes D.IIIa engine. The D.IX was armed with twin synchronised LMG 08/15 7.92 mm machine guns.

The prototype exhibited disappointing performance and the project was discontinued.
