Euler Quadruplane
The designation of quadruplane (vierdecker) was something of a misnomer, for the top surfaces were, in fact, full-span ailerons, although the machine was later modified and normal ailerons fitted. Engine, 100 h.p. Oberursel U I. Area, 46.175 sq.m. (498.7 sq.ft.). Weights: Empty, 883.5 kg. (1,844 lb.). Loaded, 1,383.5 kg. (3,044 lb.).
