Fokker V.27

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fokker V.27 through V.37 were, with few exceptions, a series of experimental fighters developed late in WW I. Construction was cheap and fast, and theory and engineering sparse. Thus development was fastest by trying thing. Bash to fit and paint to cover was more a useful practice than a bad joke.

V.27 was little more than an enlarged V.26 (prototype for the D.VIII) with a 195 hp Mercedes Benz Bz IIIB liquid-cooled inline engine. Once again Fokker pursued similar aircraft with both rotary and inline engines.

V.37 was a single-seat, ground-attack aircraft powered by a Benz Bz IIIB 195 hp inline water-cooled engine. Similar to V.27.
