The pilot’s position was also enclosed. It was a high cantilever winged monoplane in the style of Messerschmitt’s earlier three cabin aircraft, the successful BFW M.18 and BFW M.20 and the commercially unsuccessful BFW M.24, though smaller than any of them. A typical Messerschmitt square section fuselage narrowed steadily to the tail with its very angular fin and rudder. The latter was cut away at the base to allow for the movement of the single piece elevator. The main undercarriage was of the split axle type. [\/tab]<\/p>\n [tab title=”Gallery”]<\/p>\n

\nThe BFW M.26 was a single-engined cantilever-winged monoplane light airliner built in Germany in 1930.\n<\/div>\nDesign and development<\/h3>\n
\nThe M.26 was powered by a 100\u00a0hp (45\u00a0kW) Siemens Sh 11 radial engine, mounted uncowled with the seven cylinder heads protruding for cooling. It drove a two-bladed propeller.
\nThe aircraft first flew in 1930, but no production ensued and only one M.26 was built. A version with a 175\u00a0hp (130\u00a0kW) Wright Whirlwind was considered under the designation M.30, but not built.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
