Origin and Development
In 1925, Casper Werke AG built another light aircraft, the Caspar C.26, to participate in the Deutschen Rundflug competition. This development ran parallel to that of the C.24, an earlier model from the same company.
Design and Engine
The Caspar C.26 was a two-seat wooden biplane. Designed for the competition, this aircraft was equipped with a Bristol Lucifer engine, delivering 100 horsepower.
A Unique Aircraft
Like the C.24, the Caspar C.26 was produced as a single unit, receiving the registration number D-674. Its singularity makes it a notable piece in the history of German light aviation.
