Albatros DV is a biplane of wooden structure with the front part of the fuselage, covered with aluminum sheet. The DV version did not differ much from its predecessor, the D.III series, mainly in terms of the fuselage section - the DV had an elliptical hull, which made it lighter by about 50 kg. The construction of the aileron drive was solved differently. These small changes seemed so small that the new aircraft was not even tested. The construction of the 1,5-wing aircraft, as in Nieuport, required a light aircraft. The inline albatrosses were too heavy for that. When recovering the aircraft from a dive flight, the lower lobe of the DV tended to break off frequently; this disadvantage was not eliminated by the end of the war. The D.Va version was stronger, but also heavier. About 900 Albatros DV series aircraft were built. Technical data: Maximum speed: 186 km / h; climb speed 4.2 m / s, ceiling practical 5700 m, armament: two 7.92 mm LMG08 / 15 machine guns.
