Euler Dr 1
The first Euler triplane, powered with 160 h.p. Oberursel U III. No data. The designation was not official, neither is it completely certain.
Euler Dr 2
Another experimental triplane powered with 160 h.p. Mercedes D III engine. No data. The designation was not official.
Euler Dr 3
Further experimental triplane, a development of Dr 2 fitted with 100 h.p. Oberursel U I engine. No data. The designation was not official.
Euler Dr 4
This triplane emerged from the Euler-Werke in 1916 and was an extremely ungainly aircraft intended for training duties and featuring side-by-side seating arrangement. Engine, 220 h.p. Mercedes D IV with reduction gears. Span, 10.0 m. (32 ft. 9 3/4 in.). Length, 8.0 m. (26 ft. 3 in.). Height, 3.1 m. (10 ft. 2 in.). Area, 37.5 sq.m. (405 sq.ft.). The designation was not official.

Eul D.R.4 prototype (1915)
The first Euler single-seat fighter triplane was designed by Julius Hromadnik and was under test in the summer of 1917.
The only prototype Euler Dr 4 was powered by a 160 hp Oberursel U.III. It was designed as a testbed to compare biplanes and triplanes. -

The only prototype Euler Triplane (Euler Dr 4) was built in December 1916 and was powered by a 220 hp Mercedes D.IV. The aircraft was unarmed and the two crewmembers were seated side by side, indicating it was perhaps intended as a trainer.
