Overview
The Friedrichshafen FF.71 was a German biplane floatplane designed by the Friedrichshafen Aircraft Construction Company after the end of the First World War in November 1918. It was derived from the two-seat wartime FF.49C reconnaissance aircraft and modified to accommodate passengers. Friedrichshafen is known to have built one prototype; production of five FF.71a production aircraft is attributed to Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft (LFG). Three of these appear on the German civil aircraft register in the early 1920s. Surviving documentation is sparse and little is known about the aircraft and their activities.
