 | | In configuration the Fieseler design was a two-bay foldable wing biplane, primarily of metal construction but with some fabric covering, fixed tailwheel landing gear with tall jettisonable main units, a conventional braced tail unit and a Daimler Benz DB 601 engine. |
 | | As with the Fi 156 Storch, Fieseler's new aircraft had exceptional low-speed characteristics, achieved in this case by both wings incorporating ailerons and full-span automatic leading edge slats, and the lower wing having large area trailing-edge flaps. |
 | | The Fi 167 was intended for service aboard the German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, launched on 8 December 1938, and following the completion of a second prototype a pre-production batch of 12 Fi-167 aircraft was built. |
