I've been reading up on the Aviatik D1 but can't seem to find much on the forums here. I'm curious about the statement from Wikipedia
:
The early aircraft had structural deficiencies and their machine guns were installed beyond the reach of the pilot; if the gun(s) jammed, there was nothing he could do about it. These problems were later rectified with the strengthening of the airframe and the repositioning of the guns, but the main cause of complaints was the engine's tendency to overheat far too easily. To alleviate the cooling problems, operational units tended to fly their aircraft without the engine's top panels and sometimes also the side panels were left off.
The wing section does look like it would cause flutter:
My question - was the wing profile modified? If it's the modified section the original must have been amazing
Here's a photo of the wing - it's the best one I could find that shows the rib profile:
It looks quite similar to the drawing.
