Overview
The Friedrichshafen FF.34 was an experimental two-seat maritime reconnaissance floatplane built by Friedrichshafen Aircraft Construction Company for the Imperial German Navy's Naval Air Service during the First World War. Completed in 1916, the aircraft was intended to evaluate the performance of its Maybach Mb.IV engine in an aircraft in a pusher configuration as well as the suitability of the configuration for the maritime patrol mission. The FF.34's configuration was deemed obsolete and its design was structurally weak; some of its components may have been utilized by the FF.44 in 1917.
