The Staaken R.XIV R.43/17 in its original configuration with four Austro-Daimler V-12 engines in push-pull configuration like the earlier R.VI. These engines were not ready for production and were replaced by 300 hp Basse & Selve BuS.IVa engines. These engines were not ready for production either and where in turn replaced. (Peter M. Grosz collection/STDB)

Zeppelin-Staaken R XIV R.43 as originally completed with four 350 hp Austro-Daimler V12 engines. These engines were not ready for use and R.43 was rebuilt with five 245 hp Maybach Mb.IVa engines. (1917)

The Staaken R.XIV R.43 in its original configuration with four 350 hp Austro-Daimler V-12 engines. These engines were not fully developed and were not ready for production, so had to be replaced. The entire nose was glassed in and the nose gun position was raised. Here the R.43 has drawn an admiring crowd of VIPs. (Peter M. Grosz collection/ STDB)

The next Staaken design to be built was the R.XIV. Originally designed with four 350 hp Austro-Daimler V-12 engines in the configuration of the R.VI, they had to be rebuilt with a fifth engine in the nose after the Austro-Daimler engines proved to be not developed enough for production. Here an R.XIV is shown after modification to five engines. (Peter M. Grosz collection/STDB)
The Staaken R.XIV was an improved version of the R.VI, with four 350hp Austro-Daimler engines. R43/17, the first of the type, flew in February 1918 and the few operational aircraft saw active service in late summer 1918. One aircraft, R43, was operating with RFa 501 on the night of 10/11 August when it was shot down. -

Like other Staaken bombers, these types differed primarily by engine configuration; the R.VI had four engines in pusher/tractor configuration and the R.XIV added a fifth engine in the nose.

Staaken R.XIVa lined up with Nieuports and Breguets, probably in the Ukraine. In 1919 the German Government allowed DLR to charter a number of aircraft to the Ukraine Government for the transportation of new money for the young state [that the Germans were printing clandestinely]. The Ukraine was at war with Rumania and Poland and wanted to stimulate its economy by introducing a new currency. Some of the DLR aircraft were secretly transferred to the Ukraine and in addition the Ukraine Government chartered the three five-engine Staaken R.XIVa aircraft from DLR. These aircraft had serial numbers R.69, R.70, and R.71 and registration D.129, D.130, and D.131 respecitively. All three were lost. The first, R.69, was confiscated on 29 July by French troops on behalf of the IAACC at the airport of Wien, Aspern. R.71 crashed and burned on 4 August in Oberschlesien. The last Staaken R.XIVa, R.70, commanded by Captain Count Hans Wolf von Harah and with pilots Heinrich Smiltz and Henrig Tretken, was forced down due to fuel problems on 19 September on its way to Kamenets-Podolski. Upon landing the crew was captured by two soldiers of the Rumanian 37th Infantry Regiment. On board the Rumanians found 303 million Griverns (Ukraine roubles), issued 5,6, and 24 October 1918. The Ukraine passengers were sent to a Ukraine-controlled area on the other side of the river Dnestr, while the Germans were imprisoned. The aircraft was repaired by Rumanian aeronautical engineers and flown by Petre Macavei (Technical 1st Lieutenant) and other crew members to the capital of Rumania, Bucharest. On its way the engine caused more trouble, but in the end the aircraft managed to arrive safely. It never flew again, but was stationed at the airport for several years before it was dismantled. Its wooden propellers went to the military museum in Bucharest. Without aircraft, the DLR had to supply new aircraft and offered the Friedrichshafen G.IIIa for Ukraine operations. (Peter M. Grosz collection/STDB)

Staaken R.XIVa
В.Кондратьев Самолеты первой мировой войны
"Цеппелин-Штаакен" R-XIV и R-XV. Для дальнейшего повышения энерговооруженности своих машин фирма Штаакен в 1917 году вернулась к схеме пятимоторного самолета с носовой силовой установкой. Так появился R-XIV - самый крупный и тяжелый аэроплан эпохи Первой Мировой войны, настоящий шедевр тогдашнего авиастроения.
Объем бензобаков был значительно увеличен, в результате чего почти на треть повысилась дальность полета. Кроме того, на R-XIV нарастили площадь вертикального оперения и ввели роговую компенсацию элеронов.
До конца войны успели построить только 4 таких аппарата и 3 очень похожих на него R-XV. 5 из них принимали участие в боях на западном фронте. Экипаж, вооружение и оборудование R-XIV и R-XV такие же, как на R-VI.
