TheNaglo D.II was aGerman single seatquadruplane fighter, flown late inWorld War I. It took part in one of the fighter competitions but did not reach production.

Design and development

[edit]

The D.II was the only fighter built by Naglo but it was designed by Ing. Gnädig, who at the time was an employee ofAlbatros Flugzeugwerke and it partly reflected their practice. It was, though, one of the fewquadruplanes ofWorld War I. The three upper wings were all similar, having constantchord, squaredtips, no sweep and the same span. The lowest of these was attached to the lowerfuselage, the middle one to the upper fuselage with a cutout for downward vision. Inboard N-forminterplane struts held the upper plane high over the fuselage in place of acabane. Outboard there was one more N-interplane strut between each wing, four in all.Ailerons were fitted on all three upper wings. The fourth wing, lowest of all, was quite different, much shorter in span. It was mounted independently of the other three, fixed to adorsal keel extension and braced on each side with a V-strut from about mid-span to the root of the wing above. When the aircraft was parked, the wing was close to the ground and not far behind the undercarriage wheels.^[1]

The D.II was powered by a 160 hp (120 kW)Mercedes six-cylinder water-cooled engine, driving a two-bladepropeller with a large, domed spinner which was blended into the round, converging contours of the fuselage. The engine'scylinder heads and exhausts were exposed above the fuselage, which overall appeared similar to that of theAlbatros D.V and may have been based upon it. The D.II had a fixed, single axleconventional undercarriage, the axle fixed to the lower fuselage with a pair of V-struts, and with a tailskid at the rear.^[1]

The first flight occurred before 24 May 1918 when the D.II was type tested.^[1] It took part in the second D-type contest atAdlershof in mid-1918 and received complimentary comments on its build quality. A need to improve flight characteristics was noted; Naglo was therefore asked to present the D.II for further tests after making modifications.^[1]
