HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The Aviatik 30.27 biplane was a small lightweight biplane fighter reminiscent of the Fokker DVI but with a simpler wing structure. The aircraft has clean lines and simple construction similar to the Bristol Scout. It was the Aviatik's response to a 1918 request for an ultra lightweight fighter based on a rotary engine using the synthetic Voltol, a Castor oil substitute. The motor was a 150 HP Rotary Steyr based on the 150 Le Rhone. The wingspan was 21.65 feet an empty weight of 772 lbs. And a loaded weight of 1323 lbs. It carried twin Schwarzlose machine guns firing through the cowl and propeller. Its top speed was 120 mph. However, what doomed this fighter was its rate of climb. It did not meet the Air Ministries requirements, taking ~41 minutes to reach 15,500 feet.
