Albatros L.84

Today we finish with the last Albatros fighter aircraft that was completed before the company was taken over by Focke-Wulf.

The Albatros L.84 was a German two-seater biplane fighter that flew for the first time in 1931.

It was powered by a water-cooled 660hp BMW VIu 12 cylinder engine and the fuselage was covered in fabric made by welded steel tubes. The wings were made out of wood and were skinned in plywood. It was armed with a total of three 7,92 machine-guns, two forward firing ones and a third one placed in a ring at the observers ' position. Only one airplane was completed by Albatros Flugzeugwerke before being amalgamated into Focke-Wulf and it was destroyed during a flight test, in fact of the five airplanes manufactured, four were made by Focke-Wulf.
A second airplane was modified in order to instal a modified cooling-system.

Initially, the Reichswehr ordered 12 airplanes but the order was cancelled after only three of them were completed. Of those three, one was powered by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel IIIS, the L.84E and another one, the L.84F featured a more advanced version of the BMWVIu engine with a fuel-injection system.
At least one of them was sold to the Chinese Kuomintang government, but, as we couldn't find graphical evidence of this, that drawing should be considered specultative.
