The Staaken L photographed at Warnemunde test centre on 13 February 1918. The Zeppelin-Staaken L was a floatplane conversion of the R.VI with modifications for long-range maritime reconnaissance. It was intended as an interim type pending arrival of Dornier's metal flying boats.
The Staaken L was essentially an R.VI on floats with additional equipment to suit is role as a long-range maritime reconnaissance airplane and bomber. A fixed fin and third rudder were added to improve stability and control, and the ailerons were balanced to reduce control forces. Assigned marine number 1432, it was modified a number of times in light of test-flight results; here it is in the 4th of five configurations. (Peter M. Grosz collection/STDB) -

The third configuration of the Staaken L takes off from water. A fixed, central fin and rudder have been added to compensate for the destabilizing effect of the floats. The Staaken L was basically an R.VI adopted to floats for maritime reconnaissance. The prototype eventually crashed and was not adopted by the Navy. (Peter M. Grosz collection/STDB)
