| Strange concept |

Single seat quintuplane (5 wings). This was a strange concept for a single-seat fighter with five wings. Three wings were fitted in the familiar position closely behind the propeller, but two more were halfway the fuselage, just behind the cockpit. |

Fokker probably thought that, considering his succes with his triplanes, even more wings would be more succesfull. Fokker flew it twice (only made a few jumps) and then ordered to scrap it. |
