LFG Roland G.I

The LFG Roland G.I was a large prototype single-engine biplane bomber built in Germany in 1915, during World War I.

It had a single engine buried in the fuselage driving pusher configuration propellers mounted on outriggers.

[1] Hazet radiators mounted on the sides of the fuselage between the wings provided cooling to the adjacent engine.

The G.I had unstaggered unequal span wings, straight edged and of constant chord and with three bays per side defined by parallel interplane struts.

The Maybach Mb.IVa water-cooled six cylinder inline engine was directly behind the pilot driving two propellers placed on outriggers in the inner bays.
