Weiss WM-16

The Weiss WM-16 was a reconnaissance/bomber aircraft developed by the Manfred Weiss company in 1933.[1] It was developed from the Fokker C.V, of which 76 served in the Hungarian Air Force.[2] Two major versions were built: The WM-16A, which used a 410 kW (550 hp) Gnome-Rhône 9K Mistral (9 built) and the WM-16B, which used a 641.3 kW (860 hp) Gnome-Rhône 14K Mistral Major (9 built).[3] The WM-16A was considered to be unsuitable for operational service, so the WM-16B was developed as a bomber instead of a reconnaissance aircraft.[1] The WM-16 was used as the basis for the Weiss WM-21 Sólyom.
