The BFW N.I was a prototype night bomber aircraft developed in Germany during the First World War.
In August 1917, Idflieg instructed BFW to develop a night bomber able to carry 500 kg of bombs. The resulting N.I was a two-seat triplane powered by one Mercedes D.IVa inline engine. The N.I first flew in the summer of 1918 but did not enter production.

The AEG G.III was a German biplane bomber aircraft of World War I developed from the G.II. Like its predecessor, it was only built in small numbers and saw limited operational use, mainly far from the main fronts of the war.
The AEG G.IV was a biplane bomber aircraft designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft. It saw action during the First World War with the Luftstreitkräfte.
The AEG G.V was a biplane bomber aircraft of World War I, a further refinement of the AEG G.IV. The type saw limited production before the Armistice, and never entered operational service. It featured a 600 kg (1,320 lb) bombload.
The AEG R.I or Riesenflugzeug 1 was a four-engined biplane bomber aircraft of World War I manufactured by AEG.
The Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI was a four-engined German biplane strategic bomber of World War I, and the only Riesenflugzeug design built in any quantity.
The Friedrichshafen G.III was a heavy bomber designed and manufactured by Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen. They were used by the German Imperial Air Service during World War I for tactical and limited strategic bombing operations.

The Mercedes D.IVa was a German six-cylinder, water-cooled, inline engine developed in 1917 for use in aircraft and built by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG).
The Friedrichshafen G.IV and G.V respectively were heavy bombers that were designed and manufactured in Germany during World War I by Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen. The G.IV saw limited use by the Luftstreitkräfte for tactical and limited strategic bombing operations, while the G.V and a follow-on design, the FF.62 did not fly until after the Armistice.
The Gotha G.III was a twin-engine pusher biplane heavy bomber used by the Luftstreitkräfte during World War I. It succeeded the G.II in production and differed primarily in powerplant and in armament details. The G.II's unreliable V-8 Mercedes D.IV was replaced by the new inline six-cylinder 190 kW (250 hp) Mercedes D.IVa engine. The G.III also had a strengthened fuselage with an extra 7.92 mm (0.312 in) machine gun firing through a ventral gun tunnel in the belly to protect the underside of the tail.
