Thank you my dear Tuizentfloot,


and there is also D15 seaplane,do you know it ?.
 
Indeed, my dear Hesham, there was a "D15", but this wasn't a type designation, but the German Navy registration of one of those Otto designs built by AGO. Hereby a photograph of the D15 I found on the internet some time ago (but where?).
The German Navy registrations till number 24 were preceded by D (Doppeldecker) or E (Eindecker).
From the AGO company there was also D7, another Otto type, and D19, an Avro 503 copy.

On the D15, what are the 2 cylindrical objects below the wing? auxiliary floats?


Your source for the photo could be the article at "flying machines": http://flyingmachines.ru/Site2/Crafts/Craft28888.htm
 
Not sure, that they were actually below the wing. The spacing and the fact, that there were two
of them, could indicate, that they were positioned under the twin booms, or better struts of the tail.
 
I think Jemiba is right.
I found the following in Schwipps, Schwerer als Luft - Die Frühzeit der Flugtechnik in Deutschland (1984), p. 222: "Mit seinen Bodenseetypen war Ago dann im folgenden Jahr beim Vergleichsfliegen auf der Marine-Versuchsstation Putzig in der Danziger Bucht erfolgreich. Auch hier handelte es sich noch um einen herkömmlichen Gitterrumpf-Doppeldecker mit hinterliegendem Motor und zwei Hauptschwimmern sowie zwei kleinen Stützschwimmern unter dem Leitwerk".
Other Ago seaplanes had only one auxiliary float under the tail.
 
And here a photograph of a variant with a single auxiliary float under the tail.
It is the amphibian variant at the 1913 Bodenseeflug.

Hi,

as I know,there was a version of C.VII called C.VIII,and not related to C.VIII/D.I ?.

I don't understand, the reference http://flyingmachines.ru/Site2/Crafts/Craft25469.htm concerns the AEG C VIII and D I...

Oh sorry,I wanted AEG topic.
 
This one is identified as " AGO C V " ( 220 hp Benz Bz 4) in the "German combat planes" by Ray Wagner & Heinz Nowarra .

Both C V and C VI were develloped from the C IV: C V with a singele N strut, and C VI with two parallel struts.
 
Hi,

was there an aircraft called AGO W.II ?.
 
NO.

Thank you my dear Maveric,and I will check.
 
As such unknown to me. What are your sources? AGO built a number of unnamed floatplanes before WWI (own designs, Otto design, and also an Avro 503 copy). Maybe a (fake?) designation of one of those floatplanes???
 
Thank you my dear Tuizentfloot,

and I don't remember,maybe that's the source;

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/List_of_aircraft_(0-A).html
 
Naturally, on the internet one can find anything. And Wikipedia is not the most reliable source. I have my doubts.

In this book (Herwig/Rode, Luftwaffe Secret Projects: Ground Attack & Special Purpose Aircraft) there is mention of the Ao-225 Kampfzerstörer which today is called Close Air Support. It was a project in 1937 against the FP-30 tender. Derived from the Ao-192 and competing with the Arado Ar E-561/Ar 240 and Me-210. It was equipped with a remote drivetrain allowing multiple powerplants. It was abandoned in favor of Me-210 and Ar-240. I have pics but it is from a commercial book, so not open to public posting
 
What kind of publication is "Czech museum" in this and other postings? Is it from the archives of the Národní technické muzeum in Prague? Indeed a number of strange designations, in all probability for otherwise known airplanes.
 
Yes my dear Tuizentfloot,a

and here it's.

I am not sure about this designation,or built under licence ?,

G.IV was a two-seat recce biplane of 1917 ?.
 
Do you have a source? This 'G/IV' designation is seen as an online typo for the AGO C.IV - "a two-seat recce biplane of 1917".

It's not C.IV,in the source,the C.IV was from 1916 and G.IV from 1917.
