The two-seat W.29 floatplane fighter of 1918 extended the W-series into a larger, more heavily-armed configuration. Spanning 13.5 metres with single-engine power, it reached 175 km/h and could operate from coastal stations with a 520-kilometre range. The second crew member likely handled reconnaissance duties or additional weaponry, reflecting evolving tactical requirements late in the war.
