Albatros L.71

Visually, the most unusual feature was the extreme stagger, introduced to optimise the view for each of the occupants of its tandem cockpits.

Though the lower plane was set at mid-fuselage the interplane gap was large, to provide clearance for the two blade propeller.

[1] The pusher configuration 55 hp (41 kW) Siemens-Halske Sh 10[2] five cylinder radial was aerodynamically faired into the upper wing trailing edge but was not structurally connected to it; instead, four tubes from the fuselage formed the engine mounting.

The fuel tank was within the forward section of the upper wing, feeding the engine by gravity with some pressure assistance.

Sprung, telescopic legs with rubber shock absorbers were attached to the outer end of the axles and to the upper fuselage longerons.
