The Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 was a German monoplane fighter floatplane which served in the closing months of World War I, from bases on the German North Sea coast.
It was based on the Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 biplane that it was designed to replace. The monoplane configuration created less drag, and thus gave greater speed.
