The Albatros W.3, company designation VT, was a biplane torpedo bomber floatplane prototype, built for the Imperial German Navy during the First World War.
The W.3 was designed from the outset as a torpedo bomber, a large two bay biplane powered by two 150 hp (112 kW) Benz Bz.III engines in pusher configuration mounted on top of the lower wing; these drove two blade propellers, The wings had straight leading edges, squared tips and almost constant chord, though the upper trailing edge was complicated by cut-outs for the propellers and by ailerons, fitted only to this wing, which increased in chord outwards.
Aft, it became quite slender, with a broad chord, triangular fin and rounded, balanced rudder.
Twin floats, only about half as long as the fuselage, were mounted on individual sets of struts to allow torpedo release between them.
