The Gotha G.1 had the fuselage mounted on the Upper wing and the tractor engines mounted on the lower wing. The pilot and gunner positions were on the very top of the aircraft, which provided an unobstructed view. The problem is that it was deadly if the aircraft flipped over on the ground. There were dual rudders on the tail. The Gotha G.11 was a couple of meters larger in wingspan and length and had the typical design of the fuselage and engines mounted to the lower wing. The tail now had one large rudder. The engines were pusher engines that were 220 hp versus 160hp for the earlier model. The a/c gross weight of 3190 lbs was an increase of 390 lbs. The Gotha G.Vb would have a gross weight of 4550 lbs and a 4-wheel landing gear.
