WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Staggered biplane wings with the upper wing swept back
- Pilot and observer seated in tandem in an open cockpit
- Single Austro-Daimler six-cylinder inline engine
Look for a staggered two-seat biplane whose upper wing is swept back.

History
It was a conventional staggered biplane first flown in 1916, with production undertaken at Phönix.
Variants
It was supplanted by the Knoller C.II, so it was built only in small numbers.
Where you'll see it
Sixteen were built, and not all were flown, with most placed in storage without engines.
