The Aviatik 30.40 was of wooden construction. The forward fuselage was covered by light metal panels and the remainder of the fuselage was ply covered. The wing had fabric skinning, and steel-tube bracing struts were employed.

    The Austrian aviation industry closely followed developments of its German ally, and the trend toward monoplane fighters was soon noted. This Aviatik (Berg) 30.40 parasol monoplane fighter prototype was powered by a 150 hp Le Rhone(St) engine. This Steyr engine was based on a French design. Derived from the earlier 30.27 biplane prototype, it was the lightest fighter built in Austria-Hungary. Intended as an interceptor, it was fairly fast and demonstrated excellent climb during testing during July and August 1918, but proposed production could not be sanctioned until sufficient supply of the required Voltol lubricant could be assured. The braced wing was not fully cantilever.

    Aviatik 30.40. The washed-out ailerons, a typical Berg feature, are clearly in evidence. Although the photograph was taken in the summer of 1918, the old-style markings have not been replaced.
