variants with their own articles=The Gotha WD.11 (for "Wasser Doppeldecker" - "Water Biplane") was a torpedo bomber seaplanes developed in Germany during World War I. When the general configuration of theGotha WD.7 proved promising, Gotha set to work designing a much larger and more powerful aircraft along the same general lines. Like its precessessor, it was a conventional biplane with twin engines mounted tractor-fashion on the lower wing. The pilot and observer sat in tandem, open cockpits and the landing gear consisted of twin pontoons. Twelve examples were built for the German Navy.pecifications
