Fokker V.8

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fokker V.8 septuplane was the product of Anthony Fokker's imagination. His Chief Engineer, Rheinhold Platz, was opposed to building the aircraft. Some portions of the V.6 were used. Biplane wings were added mid-fuselage, producing an aircraft with five wings. The pilot was seated just ahead of the biplane wings.The triplane wings forward were just behind the propeller. Tony Fokker, who was his own test pilot, flew it twice. It never flew again. The Fokker V.8 was powered by a 160 hp Mercedes engine.
