This arrangement owed something to the Darmstadt D-18 (1929) and D-22 biplanes, though the Volland's wings were conventionally braced and not cantilevers; its single, streamlined interplane struts leant forward at about 50° to the horizontal.
[1] Its rectangular cross-section fuselage was built around four ash longerons joined by spruce frames and plywood covered.
It had a 45 kW (60 hp) six-cylinder, inverted, air-cooled inline Train 6T engine in the nose and there was a large baggage store behind it.
The forward one, for a pupil or passenger, was under the trailing edge of the upper wing, which had a central rectangular cut-out to improve access.
[1] Tests of the Volland V-10, temporarily equipped with a 45 kW (60 hp) Régnier two-cylinder R.2 engine, began in April 1936[2] and the first flight took place on 26 May.
