The sole example of the Albatros W.2 is shown before its Marine Number of 450 was applied. The engine was a 160 hp Mercedes D.III.

The Albatros W.2 was a clean design for a two-seat reconnaissance floatplane. The observer had a single flexible machine gun; there was no fixed gun for the pilot.

Albatros W 2
Intended for armed patrol duties, the W 2 utilised the basic fuselage and wing cellule of the C III, although the centre-section strut arrangement and installation of the 160 h.p. Mercedes D III engine differed somewhat. The considerable increase in upper fin area is also noticeable. Most notable feature of this aircraft was the extremely clean and simple float chassis, but it is doubtful if it was sufficiently rugged. Only a single example (Marine No. 450) was supplied, in June 1916, armed with manually operated Parabellum machine-gun in rear cockpit.
