The W16 was an attempt to create a replacement for the KDW that had better maneuverability and handling qualities. It had a larger fixed fin to improve stability and the heavy star-strut arrangement was replaced with a new design that did not obstruct the pilot's view as much. Despite the same power and its much lighter weight than the KDW, it was no faster and its climb rate was actually lower above 1000m. The massive spinner was an attempt to minimize drag. | C.Owers - Hansa-Brandenburg Aircraft of WWI. Volume 2 - Biplane Seaplanes /Centennial Perspective/ (18) |

The single seat Hansa-Brandenburg W 16 floatplane fighter was Ernst Heinkel's second fighter design of 1916, the earlier one being the company's KDW/W 11. Neat and compact, the W 16 incorporated a number of superior design features to its immediate predecessor, but despite this, orders for only three examples, serials 1077 to 1079, were to be received from the navy. Powered by a 160hp Oberursal rotary, the W 16's top level speed was 106mph at sea level. Seen here is the first of the three W 16s, 1077. | C.Owers - Hansa-Brandenburg Aircraft of WWI.

The W16 was the only Brandenburg floatplane design to be powered by a rotary engine. | J.Herris - German Seaplane Fighters of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (2) |
The W16 featured a different strut arrangement than the KDW to achieve better field of view for the pilot. | C.Owers - Hansa-Brandenburg Aircraft of WWI. Volume 2 - Biplane Seaplanes /Centennial Perspective/ (18) |
