__NOTOC__ The Lloyd C.II and its derivatives, the C.III and C.IV were reconnaissance aircraft produced in Austria-Hungary during the First World War.〔Taylor 1989, 581〕 They were based on the Lloyd company's pre-war C.I design, and like it, were conventional biplanes with swept-back wings. After the outbreak of World War I, the original aircraft was refined somewhat by Lloyd designers Wizina and von Melczer,〔Gunston 2003, 184〕 featuring a reduced wingspan and wing area but increased weight.〔Grosz 2002〕 An 8 mm Schwarzlose machine gun was added on a semi-circular mount for an observer.〔Murphy 2005, 108〕 Beginning in 1915, one hundred examples of this type were built – fifty by Lloyd at their plant in Aszód, and another fifty by WKF in Vienna. Apart from their service with the Austro-Hungarian flying service, ten C.IIs saw service with Poland. These were captured in Malopolska in November 1918 and were used as trainers until being withdrawn from service in 1920. The C.III was almost identical except for the use of a 120 kW (160 hp) Austro-Daimler engine, which increased the top speed to 133 km/h (83 mph).〔 Production again was by both Lloyd and WKF, with total production amounting to 50-60 machines. The C.IV also used the Austro-Daimler engine, and small batches were produced by both Lloyd and WKF.〔 ==Variants== * C.II with Heiro engine an 14.00 m wingspan (100 built) * C.III with Austro-Daimler engine and 14.00 m wingspan (8 or 16 built by Lloyd, 43 by WKF) * C.IV with Austro-Daimler engine produced by Lloyd with 14.52 m (47 ft 8 in) wingspan (47 built, plus one converted) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lloyd C.II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
