Design and development edit

Twenty aircraft, powered by 60 kW (80 hp) Oberursel U.0 rotary engines, were built, some of which were used by Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy) shore stations.[1] It was a single-bay sesquiplane (biplane) of conventional configuration, with slightly staggered wings using wing warping for roll control, tandem open cockpits and Fokker's distinctive comma-shaped rudder.

The W.4 was a floatplane version of the M.7.

Operational history edit

The aircraft was operated by the Austro-Hungarian forces under the designation Type B.I, following the German Empire's lettered prefixes from the Idflieg aircraft designation system. Serials assigned were 03.01,03.02 and 03.04-03.12 with 03.25-03.28 being assigned to subsequently repaired/rebuilt aircraft.

Variants edit

  • M.7 : Two-seat reconnaissance aircraft version.
  • W.4 : Two-seat reconnaissance floatplane version.
