The LFG Roland D.XV was a World War I German single-seat fighter aircraft ordered as a test bed for engine comparisons. It was distinguished from earlier Roland biplane designs by the elimination of flying wires. Two later aircraft, also called LFG Roland D.XV, were completely different designs with slab-sided fuselages.
