To replace its E-series monoplanes, in the summer of 1916 Fokker evolved the D I biplane fighter from its M.18z prototype.
The D.I had a 120 h.p. Mercedes engine, but looked very much like the D. II. Martin Kreutzer lost his life whilst testing a D. I Although 136 were built, the type proved too slow for use on the Western Front.
Engine: Mercedes DII, 89-kW (120-hp).
The W.3 floatplane, which appeared in March 1915, was a modified M.7 with floats originating from the W. 2. After some unsatisfactory trials it was restored to M. 7 configuration.
The D II appeared later than the D I but was derived from the earlier M.17z prototype. The D II had shorter wings and a longer fuselage, and as it was powered by a 75-kW (100-hp) Oberursel U.l rotary engine it was lighter and more manoeuvrable than the D I.
M.17E, a version of the M.16E with a 100 h.p. Oberursel rotary engine instead of the liquid cooled Mercedes of the latter. Equipped with one machine gun, the M.17E was not put into production.
The D.II (M.17ZF) fighter, designed by Martin Kreutzer, appeared early 1916 and was completed before the D.I. With a 100 h.p. Oberursel engine it attained a speed of 150 kph, and the armament comprised one machine gun. A total of 77 of this type were produced.
Engine: Oberursel U.l rotary, 75-kW (100-hp).
The M.16E, of 1915, an experimental fighter with one machine gun, did not go into production.
Thirty M.16Z two seaters were used by the Austro Hungarian army with the designation B.3. The M.16Z had a 160 h.p. Mercedes or a 200 h.p. Austro Daimler engine.
The M.10E two seat trainer went into service with the Austrians in April 1915, designated B.1.
The experimental fighter, the M.9, also called K.I (K= Kampfflugzeug =fighting aeroplane), first appearing in April 1915. In addition to the pilot, two 80 h.p. Oberursel engines were positioned in the central nacelle, and the two fuselages each had an air gunner in the nose. During tests the aeroplane proved useless.
The parasol winged, two seat M.6 made its debut in June 1914. The machine had an 80 h.p. Oberursel engine. The only one built crashed at Schwerin and was destroyed.
The succes¬sor to the W.I, the W.II, floatplane, made only a few flights before it was dismantled.
The first Fokker flying boat – identified as the W.1 – dating from February 1913. A characteristic two-seat sesquiplane biplane with a Renault engine of 70 hp fitted in pusher configuration on the top wing. The machine was intended by Fokker to participate in the Monaco seaplane contest of 1913. During an early test flight the W.1 crashed in the water being completely destroyed, with Fokker and his mechanic narrowly escaping. Fokker never turned to flying boats during WW1 again.
Reconnaissance floatplane, a biplane intended for shipboard duties. The Ar 196 was preferred, and the Fw 62 was merely a back-up design. Only four were built. In 1937 2 standard prototypes were built, V1 and V2.
The first prototype having two floats.
