The Schutte-Lanz company, which primarily built airships, also designed airplanes, but none reached production. Here is the Schutte-Lanz Dr.I, their entry into the triplane craze. Powered by a 160 hp Mercedes D.III, it was out-performed by the similar Schutte-Lanz D.III biplane.
The Schutte-Lanz Dr.I used the fuselage and tail of the D.III biplane but had lower performance due to its greater weight and drag. The Dr.I was Germany's last triplane fighter and marked the final end of Germany's triplane craze. -

The only prototype Schutte-Lanz triplane was powered by a 160 hp Mercedes D.III. lt was derived from the Schutte-Lanz D.III biplane with the same engine; the D.III biplane had better speed and climb than the Dr.I triplane.
Schutte-Lanz developed the Dr I in 1918 after studying the Sopwith Triplane. -
