The Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 was a two-seat floatplane fighter used by Germany during the First World War. Developed as a replacement for the successful W.12, the W.29 featured a monoplane layout, vastly improving the gunner's field of fire. They would operate from seaplane bases on the North Sea throughout 1918, serving alongside the W.12, W.19, and the later W.33.
