Halberstadt G.I

  Halberstadt only built one twin-engine aircraft during the war, the sole G.I prototype. The G.I was powered by two 160 hp Mercedes D.III engines. The aircraft was of conventional design and construction. The engines were mounted between the wings in tractor configuration. The biplane wings had two bays of bracing outboard of the engines and the tail had three rudders; only the central rudder had a fixed vertical fin.
  A crew of three was carried; the pilot sat in the middle cockpit and there were gunners fore and aft, each with a flexible machine gun. A bomb load of 200 kg could be carried.
  A single prototype was built during the winter of 1915/1916 but no series production was undertaken. The successful competitors were powered by more powerful engines and could carry a larger bomb-load.

The sole prototype of the Halberstadt G.I is shown with its 160 hp Mercedes D.III engines running. The G.I was a relatively clean design with frontal radiators, nicely-cowled engines, and simple landing gear. It was compact for a twin-engine bomber and faster than most competitors, but was not selected for production; perhaps its bomb load was too small.

The sole prototype of the Halberstadt G.I powered by 160 hp Mercedes D.III engines. The exhaust pipes led upward through the upper wing, a feature reminiscent of the prototype Halberstadt fighters. It needed more power.
