Talk:Zeppelin C.I

Confusion.

 * Clearly there is some confusion between two completely different aircraft, both built by Zeppelin, but with different designers.


 * The Zeppelin C.II, designed by Jaray, had an aluminium structure, but fabric covering and a semi-eliptical wing and lots of curves.
 * That is this aircraft, which Dornier had zero connection to:


 * The Zeppelin-Lindau CL.II, designed by Dornier, with a mostly stressed-skin aluminium structure, which looks like the box the C.II came in, thusly:


 * The CL.I was similar to the CL.II (which was originally designated the CL.Ia), but had the radiator in the upper wing and a slightly differently shaped rudder, while the C.I was similar to the C.II but had a horn balance on the rudder.
 * Of the four types, only the C.II saw any significant production (23), as a small number went to the Swiss AF.
