The horizontal stabiliser was mounted halfway up the tail fin, and the undercarriage consisted of two widely spaced pontoons. The sole FF.35 was delivered to the German Navy for testing in May 1916 and was given the serial number 300. Although no further examples were built, the FF.35 formed the basis for the successful FF.41.
