Brandenburg C.II(U) 161.01, powered by a 200 hp Hiero engine, at the UFAG factory in Albertfalva in April 1917. To avoid confusion with the UFAG C.I 161.01 prototype, the number was later changed to 160.01.

Brandenburg C.II 66.51. According to Brandenburg, the wing cellule was identical with that of the CC flying boat. The deep fuselage design was put to good use in the Brandenburg W 12 seaplane.
The C.II was a typical Brandenburg structure with deep ply covered fuselage. The pilot's position under the upper wing gave him poor visibility and lack of egress in the event of a bad landing. -

The pilot's location provided no upward view and Cellon windows were inserted into the center section; however, the location of the radiator blocked part on the starboard side.

Brandenburg C.II(U) 161.01 (later 160.01). The inaccessible cockpit location, which made a quick exit difficult in an emergency, explains why pilots had such an aversion to the aircraft. The center section is covered with transparent Cellon.

Type K (C.II)
A two-seat observation biplane derived from the Type KDD the Type K became the C.II.(17) Two were constructed by Brandenburg. The machine had the star strutter form of interplane struts and as there were problems with the wing cellule the fuselage was constructed first while awaiting test results. The fuselage was deep and rectangular in section. The top wing was mounted close to the fuselage giving the observer a superb field of fire forwards and rearwards over the tail. A balanced rudder was fitted without fin. While the pilot was not enclosed as in the Type KDD, he was situated wholly under the upper wing with no easy escape in the event of a crash. A single machine gun was provided for the observer. On initial flight tests the performance was reported as good but Flars expressed concern over the pyramid strut arrangement. The prototype 66.51 was flown at Briest where it was inspected by Austro-Hungarian representatives. The pilot's view needed improvement and its performance was considered not satisfactory for the mountainous country that it would have to operate in.
The second machine, 66.81, carried out flight tests in June 1917 but had poor flight characteristics. Its poor longitudinal stability was blamed on the heavier 200-hp Hiero engine. Plans to lengthen the fuselage and provide an enlarged fin were halted while the L 15 was completed. By August 1917 the modified C.II was ready for flight test but the success of the Phonix C.I and UFAG C.I reconnaissance two-seaters meant that the project was abandoned. Both these machines were developed with conventional wing bracing from their Brandenburg predecessors to become very successful machines.
(17) The Type K is illustrated in the Typenschau by a three-view drawing. The C.II is presented as the Phonix C.II in this volume.
