This is the Friedrichshafen FF 15, one example was built in 1914. A pusher with 135 hp NAG 6-cylinder engine. Single float ('Zentralschwimmer') with two small flotation bags at wings end.
Extra stabilisation was done by the 'filling' of the tail booms.

The machine was flown in the 1914 Bodensee Wettbewerb.
