Rohrbach Ro IX The Rohrbach Ro IX "Rofix" was a German all-metal monoplane fighter aircraft designed in February 1924 by Kurt Tank for Rohrbach. The initial order for the aircraft was for 2 test aircraft, with a view of producing 50. Construction began in April 1926, and by the summer, the first prototype, with serial number 22, was complete. The prototype was tested in Denmark due to aircraft building restrictions on Germany at the time. However twice the prototype crashed, first in January 1927, and again 15 July 1927 killing the pilot Paul Bäumer. Despite good characteristics in flight and landing, some problems led to modifications. It was powered by a 600 hp BMW VI engine, and two synchronized rifle calibre machine guns in the fuselage. Two more guns in the wings were planned.

Junkers Ju 49 The Junkers Ju 49 was a German aircraft designed to investigate high-altitude flight and the techniques of cabin pressurization. It was the world's second working pressurized aircraft, following the Engineering Division USD-9A which first flew in the United States in 1921. By 1935, it was flying regularly to around 12,500 m (41,000 ft).

Junkers T 29 The Junkers J 29 was a two-seat, single-engined experimental training monoplane, built in Germany in 1925. Its significance is that it was the first aircraft to fly and test the Junkers Doppelflügel (double wing) control surfaces used very successfully on the later Junkers Ju 52.

Avia BH-9 The Avia BH-9 was a single-seat sports plane built in Czechoslovakia in 1923, based on the BH-5. As with other developments in the BH-1 lineage, the BH-9 was a low-wing braced monoplane that accommodated the pilot and passenger in tandem, open cockpits. The BH-9's structure was strengthened to allow the use of a higher-power engine than in its predecessors, and for the first time, this was a domestically-produced powerplant.

Messerschmitt Me 328 The Messerschmitt Me 328 was originally designed as a parasite aircraft to protect "Luftwaffe" bomber formations during World War II. During its protracted development, a wide variety of other roles were suggested for it. Late in the war, the design was resurrected for consideration as a "Selbstopfer" (suicide weapon) aircraft, but was judged unsuitable even for this purpose. The tiny fighter was to have been propelled by pulsejets, but the unsuitability of these engines doomed the Me 328 from the start.

Gotha Go 149 The Gotha Go 149 was a military aircraft developed in Germany in the mid-1930s for training fighter pilots. It was a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane with tailwheel undercarriage, the main units of which retracted inwards. The wing was wooden, while the monocoque fuselage was metal. Two prototypes were constructed, and an armed version was also proposed as a light home-defence fighter ("Heimatschutzjäger") armed with two 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns, but the "Luftwaffe" did not purchase either version of the design, and no further examples were built.

Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 "Condor", also known as "Kurier" to the Allies, was a German all-metal four-engined monoplane originally developed by Focke-Wulf as a long-range airliner. A Japanese request for a long-range maritime patrol aircraft led to military versions that saw service with the "Luftwaffe" as long-range reconnaissance and anti-shipping/maritime patrol bomber aircraft. The Luftwaffe also made extensive use of the Fw 200 as a transport.
