Halberstadt CLS I
Designed to succeed the CL II and CL IV types, the CLS I was even smaller and lighter, and it was also faster. Type tested on 2nd October 1918, it came too late to go into production. But for the absence of curvature in the lower wing roots and the built-up rear cockpit, the CLS I might be confused with the CL IV: construction was almost identical. Further development in the shape of CLS II and CLS X, with 3.5 cm. revolver cannon, remained no more than projects. Engine, 160 h.p. Mercedes D III. Span, 9.7 m. (31 ft. 9 7/8 in.). Length, 6.95 m. (22 ft. 9 5/8 in.). Height, 3.05 m. (10 ft. 0 1/8 in.). Area, 26.4 sq.m. (285 sq.ft.). Weights: Empty, 682 kg. (1,500 lb.). Loaded, 1,102 kg. (2,424 lb.). Speed, 185 km.hr. (115.625 m.p.h.). Climb, 4,500 m. (14,760 ft.) in 36 min. Armament, one Parabellum and two Spandau machine-guns.
