The Aviatik C.VIII was a prototype German observation aircraft built by Aviatik in World War I.
Design
The C.VIII was a development of the C.VII with the former's BMW IV engine replaced by the simpler Benz Bz.IV. It was an aerodynamically clean biplane with a minimum amount of biplane box struts and a cut-out in the upper wing to improve visibility from the cockpit. Like the Halberstadt CL.II, the Aviatik C.VIII had a plywood-covered fuselage tapering down to a narrow tail.[1]
The Aviatik C.VIII was judged obsolete in 1917 given the deployment of an observer in front of the pilot.
