Based on the FF43, the FF46 nevertheless possessed no commonality with its predecessor. Only prototypes were built.

The Friedrichshafen FF46, given the military designation D.I, is shown here illustrating a Sanke card. It was a cleanly designed fighter with two machine guns that was developed from the earlier FF43 floatplane fighter.

Friedrichshafen FF46 D2405/16 was apparently the first prototype D.I, identified by its vertical cabane struts. It appears to have been inspired by the Albatros D.I & D.II fighters. Careful attention was given to streamlining for maximum speed, which unfortunately is not known.

This Friedrichshafen FF46 differs slightly from the photos on the previous pages and may be the second prototype D.I, identified by its splayed cabane struts for better field of view for the pilot.

The FF 46 was based broadly on the FF 43, but, in fact, had no commonality with the float fighter other than design origin.

Friedrichshafen D I
This clean little single-seat fighter was built during 1916, but as it offered no improvement over the Albatros lighters, which had obviously influenced its design, it did not go into production. Engine, 160 h.p. Mercedes D III. Armament, twin Spandau machine-guns forward.
