 The Anatra D, DS, and DSS were almost identical. Most of the differences between the aircraft were in the powerplant. Radiators were installed on the sides of the Plywood covered fuselage or under the nose section. The Anatra-DS was first flown on July 25, 1916, the "Anasal" entered mass production in 1917. There were 60 to 70 of these planes built, and in service during 1917. |

The Voisin Ivanov was esentialy a French Voisin LAS pusher biplane with substantial changes. As a result of fight tests the Voisin-Ivanov replaced the original French aircraft on production lines, most were produced in Anatra factories. More than 150 were built between 1916 and1917. The aircraft was in service until 1922. |

The construction of the Anadwa VKh used two Anatra D fuselages, joined by a new wing that was still using elements of the Anade wing. The left fuselage was occupied by the pilot, and the right by an observer. The aircraft's gunner was located in nacell attached to the center of the upper wing providing an excellent defence capability. Early models were powered by a pair of 100hp Gnome-Monosoupape engines. Test flights started on July 9, 1916. |
Anadwa VKh Year: 1916 Function: light bomber Crew: 3 Engines: 2 - 100hp Monosaupape Length: 7.7m Wingspan: 19.0m Wing area: 62.0m2 Endurance: 3.0h Payload: 600kg |
 In 1916 V.F.Saveljev and Vladislav Zalevskij built this experimental 2-seat reconnaissater. It used fuselage from the "Morane-G" and single strut quadriplane wing box tilted forward. The Quadriplane was powered by an 80hp engine when it was flown on April 15, 1916. According to the testpilot Ungmejster, "The aircraft is very responsive and may compete with the 165hp Albatros, But it needs a 100hp Monosaupape engine." Later this engine was fitted with minor modifications, and aircraft performed numerous flights. |
