DFW R . I The DFW R . I , ( company designation DFW T26 ) , was a prototype German bomber aircraft of World War I . Development . Developed as a private venture by DFW , it was a large biplane of conventional configuration with four engines mounted inside the fuselage , powering propellers on the wings via transmission shafts - two mounted tractor - fashion on the leading edge of the upper wing , and two mounted pusher - fashion on the trailing edge of the lower wing . The DFW R . I was unique , among the Riesenflugzeuge with internally mounted engines , in that each engine drove a separate propeller and was not connected to the other engines or propellers . After factory tests proved promising , military acceptance trials commenced on 19 October 1916 and led to the aircraft being purchased for the " Luftstreitkräfte " . Soon thereafter trouble set in , with crankshafts repeatedly failing . This was attributed mostly to the engine design , but new engine mountings and universal joints for each end of the drive shafts were fitted to mitigate the problem , along with extended wings and other improvements . Operational history . Following these modifications , R . I ( R 11 / 15 ) was deployed on the Eastern front with Rfa 500 at Alt - Auz , April 1917 to September 1917 , from whence it raided Riga during the summer of 1917 . On its second combat mission , the R . I crashed due to the failure of two engines , and was destroyed .
