The '''Albatros D.X''' was a German prototype single-seat [[Fighter aircraft|fighter]] [[biplane]] developed in 1918 in parallel with the [[Albatros D.IX|Albatros D.IXme]]
==Design and development==
The D.X used the same slab-sided and flat-bottomed [[fuselage]] as the D.IX, which was a departure from previous Albatros designs, but was powered by a 145&nbsp;kW (195&nbsp;hp) [[Benz Bz.IIIb]]o water-cooled [[V8 engine]] in place of the D.IX's [[Mercedes D.III]]a [[straight-six]].<ref name="Gray"/>
The D.X participated in the second D-type contest at [[Adlershof]] in June 1918, but development ceased at the prototype stage.<ref name="Gray"/>
