With the power of a 200hp Benz Bz IV, the top level speed was 155km/h at 1000m, while the C.V’s operational ceiling was 5000m. Built not just by DFW, but by four other sub-contractors. Just under 1,000 were in operation on every front at the end of September 1917. Armament comprised the standard 7.92mm guns, one fixed forward-firing and one mounted in the rear cockpit, plus light bombs.

Made its service debut early in 1916
Deutsche Flugzeubu-Werke GmbH / DFW was formed by Bernard Meyer at Lindenthal, Leipzig, in 1910, it built Maurice Farman biplanes under license and produced its own Mars biplane and a copy of the Jeannin Taube and Etrich Stahl-taube in 1914. During the war the DFW B series (unarmed) and C (armed) two-seaters were well known, the C V in particular being license-built also by Aviatik and Halberstadt. In 1916 DFW produced the R.I. and R.ll giant bombers, very clean designs with engines in the fuselage. Planned civil development of these after the war had to be abandoned and they were scrapped, but civil conversions of C types were built. The company built no aircraft after 1920, amalgamating with Allegemeine Transportanlagen Gesellschaft Maschinenbau (ATG).
ATG joined Siebel in 1945 to become Siebel ATG (SIAT).
The Dynamic wings were designed by DTA and Jean Marc Rousellet and are manufactured exclusively for DTA by the Ellipse company in France.
The Dynamic 503 16 is based on a stainless steel spaceframe. This trike has an articulated monopole under the seat for easy rigging of the wing, which is a Dynamic 16 produced by llipse on the company’s behalf.
The Dynamic 582 Feeling is a higher performance version of the 16. The same structure is fitted with a Rotax 582, a fairing and smaller Dynamic 15 wing. A four stroke 912 is an option.
They feature individual composite seas.

The Voyageur 912 XP15 is a large trike with a topless wing, designed for aerial work or long rallies. It features individual composite seats.
The basic design is an aluminum sandwich with extra reinforcing structure. It also has a safety cable running through the sandwich. The sandwich is riveted and also bonded with aeronautical Araldite structural epoxy.
The Voyageur 912 was created for this purpose and became the first trike to be fitted with the 4-stroke 80HP Rotax 912 engine.
With the available option of the Voyageur-II’s cantilever mast, this machine can be flown with no front strut, just like its big brother.
The Voyageur II trike features a cantilever mast that is structurally strong enough to eliminate the need for the standard front tube. The basic design is an aluminum sandwich with extra reinforcing structure. It also has a safety cable running through the sandwich. The sandwich is riveted and also bonded with aeronautical Araldite structural epoxy.
The Voyageur trike utilizes only 4130 chromoly steel, a primarily stainless steel frame and aircraft grade aluminium, and is made in France.
Features that come standard on the Voyageur II include:
Full front and rear shock absorbers (rear gas shocks)
3-wheel brakes with parking brake
Cruise throttle
Large aviation tires
Padded seat covers
Rear seat head rest
Side luggage bags
Large capacity fuel tank with fuel level gauge
Instrument panel

DTA (Development Technology Aero) was founded in 1990 by Jean-Michel Dizier. DTA is a trike manufacturer in France, but specialised in the touring trike segment of the market. The DTA line of trikes was initially built around the need for capable aircraft to handle aerial work required in agriculture, territorial tracking and pipeline monitoring.
