The C.I was a two-seat biplane with normal tailplane and fixed landing gear of wooden construction. Since the radiator was mounted centrally under the upper wing, an appropriate connecting pipe had to be used between the engine and the radiator, in which the supply and exhaust lines were made of copper tubing. The engine directly drove a fixed two-bladed wooden propeller model Heine. The upper and lower wings were connected on each side by a V-strut of molded steel tubing, and were additionally cross-braced with steel cables running from the bottom of the fuselage to the connections of the V-struts.

Another of the losing designs for the the armour clad, ground attack requirement was this one-off Zeppelin-Lindau CL I. First flown on 3 March 1917, this 160hp Mercedes D III two seater was the brainchild of a design team headed by Claudius Dornier and used the light alloy construction he was pioneering with his series of giant flying boats. The Dornier CL I's top level speed was 102mph at sea level. -

Zeppelin-Lindau (Dornier) C I
Another of Dornier's designs which appeared in 1917 was this C I, which was built to test his theory of stressed-skin construction, the fuselage being an all-metal structure with the sheet alloy skin bearing part of the load stresses. The wings were orthodox fabric-covered structures but with aluminium box-spars; in the first version a flush radiator was fitted in the centre-section: in the second version a car-type nose radiator was fitted.
Although the machine failed to meet the performance specifications when officially type tested on 18th March 1918, it provided Dornier with the information he required for his Rs IV fuselage.
