The Aviatik D.VII was a prototype German single-seat biplanefighter aircraft built by Aviatik in the last year of the First World War. It could not participate in the Third Fighter Competition of October 1918 because it used the wrong engine and it saw no military service, although 50 aircraft were found in storage after the war. The only real major change from the earlier Aviatik D.VI was a completely new tail structure.
