	Fokker Triplane Flight Characteristics
		The first thing you notice about a Triplane is that it is definitely a "rudder" airplane and you have to keep on the pedals constantly to keep the ball in the center of the slip-skid indicator.
		The Triplane tends to fly tail heavy and increasing speed requires lots of forward stick to hold the nose down~ It appears as if the effective center of drag is above the thrust line so the faster you go the more elevator correction is needed to hold the nose down.
		All the wings are rigged at 11/20 angle of incidence.

	Fokker Dr 1 Information
		He was killed in his Fokker Dr 1 whilst chasing a novice pilot fairly low to the ground by a single shot in the heart by either a Canadian Pilot, Australian machine gunners or by ground troops.
		The Fokker Dr 1 was a successful plane because it was small and had 3 wings and a supplementary airfoil on the undercarriage.
		However, the Fokker Dr 1 was not without problems, some reasons why it did not succeed was because of the poor wing design which led to the temporary withdrawal from service by the end of October 1917.

	Fokker Dr.I Triplane (Dreidecker) Fighter - Military and Civilian Aircraft
		Richthofen prefered the triplane design over contemporary ones in the end of his career for the simple values maintained in the rate-of-climb and turning ability of the aircraft.
		The Fokker Dr.I (the "Dr" standing for "Dreidecker" which meant triplane) was initially developed to counter the Sopwith Triplane that appeared to have an advantage over certain types of German craft.
		The Fokker Dr.I proved to be a highly manueverable aircraft as the three levels of wing surface caused much in the way of drag - very useful in the climbing or turning required for dogfighting.

	Fokker Dr.I Triplane - Germany
		Following the sensational debut of the Sopwith Triplane used by the R.N.A.S. in April 1917, many German and Austro-Hungarian firms hastened to design triplane fighters.
		Therefore, the second Fokker triplane, the V.4, was given thin wooden interplane struts to eliminate the vibration.
		The triplane was issued with modified wings in December 1917.

	Fokker Triplane speech
		Fokker built the first fighter airplane to have a machine gun synchronized to fire through the propeller.
		C. Fokker had already been working on a series of experimental aircraft with wooden cantilever wings, now seen as one of the most important inventions in aeronautical science during the war.
		The Fokker triplane was the first airplane to enter service with wooden cantilever wings.

	Fokker Dr.1 Triplane
		Inspired by the devastating performance of the Sopwith Triplane, Anthony Fokker designed and built the Dr.I Dreidecker, and delivered the first triplanes to Manfred von Richthofen's Jagdgeschwader I in late August 1917.
		Both ground and aerial combat diminished in the 1917-18 winter, and the German offensive of Spring 1918 saw the heyday of the Fokker Triplane.
		Bäumer was credited with four victories in March, 1918, when he was flying the Fokker triplane, usually #204/17 and #209/17, although he may have also used an Albatros D.V that month.

	The Fokker Dr-1, mount of Ltn Fritz Kempf, model from Fiddlers Green
		The Fokker Triplane was surprisingly light in weight, although it is true that in its first form it suffered from wing vibration in flight.
		It was these rotary motors which gave the Fokker DR.l Triplane, the category having been specially introduced for the design alone, the distinctive flat-nosed appearance due to the flat front plate with cooling holes which closed the near-circular cowling, although this was not always carried, giving the nose a distinctly radial-engined appearance.
		Much has been written about the Fokker Triplane flown by von Richtofen, the colour scheme being allegedly all red, the exact shade of which would seem to have been darker than is usually supposed, although the darkening effect of age is important to remember when examining dope samples from So long ago.

	Fokker Dr.I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fokker Dr. I Dreidecker (triplane) was a World War I fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz and built by the company led by Anthony Fokker.
		Furthermore, the triplane proved tricky to land and prone to ground looping, as evidenced by the wooden skids mounted on the lower wingtips.
		The cockpit was cramped and the proximity of the gun butts to the cockpit, combined with poor crash padding, left the pilot vulnerable to serious head injury in the event of a crash landing.

		The Fokker Dr. I is one of WW I's most famous fighters.
		Although the triplane was not particularly fast compared with other fighters, it proved a formidable opponent in the hands of skilled aces such as Richthofen, Jacobs and Udet.
		It was replaced in spring, 1918, by the far superior Fokker D.VII; nevertheless, it came to symbolize the German air campaign in the Great War.

		This machine was dispatched from Fokker’s factory at Schwerin on Oct 29 1917 and as a result of the requirements for a strengthened wing, had it wings replaced in the field probably at Air Field Park IV.

		The Fokker Dr.I triplane was made famous by the pilots who flew it and, in some cases, died in it.
		This book is the fruit of some thirty-five years of intensive research into the Fokker Dr.I by its author, an internationally acknowledged authority on the subject.
		It provides a collection of unique photographs, scale drawings and coloured illustrations of the triplane, together with information on many aspects of the aircraft's history, much of which has not been published previously.

	605 Fokker F.I
		So Triplane 102/17 was passed on to Kurt von Döring, then it was tested by Hans Adam, and on September 11th it gained a new pilot, Kurt Wolff.
		The end for the triplane in this vicious and bloody struggle was delivered by Arthur Rhys Davids - he came onto the tail of the German and shot it with his last remaining rounds.
		The military issued Fokker with an order for 300 triplanes under the designation Dr.I, and soon this small three winged machine would become historic as the plane flown by the most famous German aces and, thanks to the Red Baron, one of the symbols of the First World War.

		Designed as a response to the Sopwith Triplane, the Fokker DR-1 was already obsolete when it began to reach squadrons in late 1917.
		The Fokker Dr-1 Triplane was built as a response to the British Sopwith Triplane, but contrary to popular belief, Fokker's chief designer Reinhold Platz did not use the Triplane as a model.
		Furthermore, he [Fokker] has a triplane that is certainly no longer in the formative stages and has already shown exceptional climb and speed, that must be unreservedly supported and sent to the front in large numbers as soon as we have rotary engines.

		The Fokker TRIPLANE was ordered into production on July 14, 1917 in response to earlier success that year of the British Sopwith Triplane and at the written request from Richthofen.
		Fokker built 320 Dr. Is; for a brief period, production was suspended while the wings were redesigned to prevent in-flight failures.
		By May 1918 the Dr I was being replaced by the newer and faster Fokker D VII.

		The proplems the triplane experienced with the breaking of Pastor's 121/17 and Gontermann's 115/17 find their reasons only in poor construction quality at the Fokker works and the Perzina Pianoforte factory who constructed wingspars for the triplane.

		This was the last German fighter deigned and built by Anthony Fokker during World War I. He ended the War as he started, with a monoplane design.
		Using a thicker than normal airfoil section for the period, Fokker created a wing that was internally strong enough to not need external bracing wires or struts.
		Pilots were initially distrustful of the non-braced wing design but it gained favor as a good replacement for the Fokker Triplane.
