WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Early Fokker military monoplane design from WWI era
- Single tractor rotary engine
- Wire-braced monoplane in M-series Fokker development sequence
A small wire-braced monoplane typical of the Fokker M-series, with rotary engine, simple wire undercarriage, and the open-frame tail structure characteristic of early Fokker designs.

History
Anthony Fokker's M-series represented a sequential development of monoplane designs from 1912 onward, leading ultimately to the Fokker Eindecker (E.I through E.IV) which caused the 'Fokker Scourge' of 1915–1916. The M.10 was an intermediate design in this progression, used to refine aerodynamics and handling before the definitive fighters emerged.
Variants
The M-series numbered through many variants; the M.10 was one intermediate step in Fokker's pre-war and early-war development.
Where you'll see it
Used for development and evaluation rather than front-line service.
