The WNF Wn 16 was an Austrian experimental aircraft built near the start of World War II to test a tricycle undercarriage.
The wing was in three parts, with a twin spar, steel tube framed centre section welded to the central fuselage which supported the tailbooms on its upper surfaces at their outer ends.
[2] The short fuselage was also a welded steel tube structure, alloy skinned front and rear but with a fabric covered central section that contained the tandem seats under a continuous, multi-framed canopy which merged into the rear fuselage.
The Wn 16's pusher configuration, 37 kW (50 hp) Salmson 9Ad nine cylinder radial engine was installed within a Townend ring cowling at the rear of the fuselage beyond the wing, driving a two blade propeller.
[5] Development continued into World War II and the first flight with the Walter engine was on 7 August 1942.
