The Focke-Wulf A.16 was a German three/four passenger light transport monoplane designed by Heinrich Focke and Georg Wulf and was the first design built by the newly formed Focke-Wulf company.
With the success of their earlier designs, Focke and Wulf formed the Focke-Wulf company in 1924 and their first design was an all-wood three/four passenger airliner or light transport, the A.16, first flown by Georg Wulf on 23 June 1924. At least 20 aircraft were built; according to Airbus Industrie, Bremen, 23 were built. Airbus has built another one in the last ten years[when?], though not airworthy, which is on display at Bremen Airport.
The A.16 was a high-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration. The wing used a thick airfoil. The pilot sat in an open cockpit above the wing while the passengers were carried in the enclosed fuselage below. The tailskid undercarriage featured large wheels mounted on each side of the fuselage.
