NFW E.II Prototype. Initial configuration | J.Herris - German Aircraft of Minor Manufacturers in WW1. Volume II /Centennial Perspective/ (50) |
Unlike most E-types that had rotary engines, the NFW E.II had a 160 hp Mercedes D.III, giving it much better performance.This appears to be its initial configuration with smaller rudder and natural metal cowling and spinner. | J.Herris - German Aircraft of Minor Manufacturers in WW1. Volume II /Centennial Perspective/ (50) |
The photo clearly shows an enlarged rudder and the cowling and spinner are painted dark (green?). | J.Herris - German Aircraft of Minor Manufacturers in WW1. Volume II /Centennial Perspective/ (50) |
The NFW E.II had under-wing radiators to cool its 160 hp Mercedes D.III, and a streamlined nose with spinner.The result was much improved speed and climb compared to the earlier Fokker Eindeckers. "National" for National Flugzeug-Werke, was painted on the fuselage side, and a turn-over structure protected the pilot. | J.Herris - German Aircraft of Minor Manufacturers in WW1. Volume II /Centennial Perspective/ (50) |
