Open in interactive gallery →See aircraft like this on the live radar →

The FF.44 was an experimental two-seat maritime reconnaissance floatplane built by Friedrichshafen Aircraft Construction Company for the Imperial German Navy's Naval Air Service during the First World War. Completed in 1917, the aircraft was intended to evaluate the performance of its Maybach Mb.IV engine with a reduction gear in an aircraft in a tractor configuration. It did not meet expectations and the program was cancelled in early 1918.
