TheBFW M.27, sometimes known as theMesserschmitt M.27, was a German two-seat sports plane with a low,cantilever wing, opencockpits and a fixedundercarriage sold in small numbers at the start of the 1930s.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s,Willy Messerschmitt, working atBayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) produced a series of low-wing sportsmonoplanes with either one or two seats.[2] These were theM.19,M.23, M.27,M.31 andM.35 with the M.23, the only one with sales of much over double figures. TheM stood forMesserschmitt.
TheM.27[2] was a two-seater, very similar to the M.23b but with a more roundedfin andrudder assembly, afuselage stretched by about 1,400 mm (55 in) to accommodate luggage and a new,spatted undercarriage. Pilot and passenger sat in tandem in separate open cockpits.
It was successfully raced, winning theDeutschland Competition in 1932 and coming second in theZugspitz Circuit in 1933.[2] Nonetheless, it was not sold in large numbers.
