According to
 Austro-Hungarian Army Aircraft of World War One by Peter M. Grosz, George Haddow and Peter Schiemer, Austria-Hungary had ten aircraft manufacturers during WWI.

Yes,
Germany exported ca 1000 aircraft to her Allies and to neutral states in WWI. Nevertheless Austria-Hungaria had an own aircraft industry as mentioned by Scott. Some of these enterprises were dependencies of German aircraft works (like DFW). |

Austro-Hungarian empire produced most of their planes on their own, but the connections between German and Austrian factories were close. Some Austrian companies were owned by Germans, and some of the German companies were owned by Austrians. Also Fokker, who was Dutch, owned some of the Austrian companies (MAG).
Germany exported to Austria several early war types, like Albatros B.II, DFW B.II, Aviatik B, Rumpler B, Fokker B, Fokker E.I and E.III and some later types like Gotha G.IV and Albatros J.I. Several German types were license built in Austria and Hungary (Albatros D.III, Fokkers etc.). Many Austrian planes were designed in Germany, for example main Austrian airplane Hansa-Brandenburg C.I was designed by Ernst Heinkel. Company Hansa-Brandenburg was German, but owned by Austrian citizen (ethnic Italian), Camilio Castiglione. Hansa-Brandenburgs C.I were produced in Austrian Phoenix factory and in Hungarian UFAG (Budapest). Complicated, isn't it? Cheers! G. |

I know off a certain Phonix D 1 that was produced in AH. I came out in late 1917 and only 214 models were built (for all variants, only 120 D 1's were built), also it used star struts.
Another thing, it was used by aces Frank-Linke Crawford (30 v.) and Bennon von Fiala (29 v.) If you wish I can send you some mechanical info.

QUOTE] Manfred, The Phönix fighters didn't have star struts,but other aircraft like the Hansa-Brandenburg D.I(the predecessor to the Phönix D.I.) and the Hansa-Brandenburg CC did. Dennis |
