The designer of the DFW T 28 Floh photographed with his creation. This photo emphasizes the small size of the aircraft. Only one synchronized machine gun was fitted. Despite extraordinary appearance, the T 28 Floh achieved a respectable performance. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/Museum of Flight) | J.Herris - DFW Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (29) |
The DFW T 28 Floh had a very unusual configuration. The pilot had an excellent field of view upward but the wings obstructed the view forward and downward that made landing problematic. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/SDTB) | J.Herris - DFW Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (29) |
To taxi the prototype Floh the pilot had to stand up to see over the high wing and fuselage. In addition to being highly streamlined, the DFW T 28 was very small, both factors contributing to its speed. DFW B.I trainers are in the background at DFW's Lubeck-Travemunde facility. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/Museum of Flight) | J.Herris - DFW Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (29) |
The bizarre DFW T 28 Floh was fast for its 100 hp Mercedes D.I due to its excellent streamlining, achieving 180 km/h on its maiden flight, but Idflieg had little interest in the type. It featured conventional wood, wire, and fabric wings with plywood-wrapped fuselage over a wooden frame like the DFW C.IV that was designed at nearly the same time. An exhaust header was omitted to minimize weight and drag. | J.Herris - DFW Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (29) |
The original tail design of the DFW T 28 Floh without aerodynamic balances on the elevators. There was no fixed fin and no bracing for the tail surfaces. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/Museum of Flight) | J.Herris - DFW Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (29) |
The initial tail design of the DFW T 28 Floh is shown in this rear view. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/SDTB) | J.Herris - DFW Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (29) |
The final tail design of the DFW T 28 Floh with aerodynamic horn balances on the elevators is shown here. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/ Museum of Flight) | O.Thetford, P.Gray - German Aircraft of the First World War /Putnam/ |
