Germania JM prototype prepared for take off. Although the JM used the streamlined Walfisch shape in profile, it retained a rectangular fuselage cross-section. The production Roland C.II not only used the Walfisch profile, it used a more streamlined oval fuselage cross-section for reduced drag. Its increased speed was a major factor in its success.
