The Fokker V.7 was a prototype fighter triplane designed by the Fokker Aircraft Company (Fokker-Flugzeugwerke) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's (Deutsches Heer) Imperial German Air Service (Luftstreifkräfte). It was an attempt to improve upon the Dr.I by using larger and more powerful rotary engines than its standard Oberursel Ur.II. Four aircraft were built in 1917, each with a different engine, none of which made it into production.
