The Hansa-Brandenburg G.I was a bomber aircraft used to equip the Austro-Hungarian aviation corps in World War I. It was a mostly conventional large, three-bay biplane with staggered wings of slightly unequal span. The pilot and bombardier sat in a large open cockpit at the nose of the aircraft, with a second open cockpit for a gunner in a dorsal position behind the wings. An unusual feature was the placement of the twin tractor engines. While the normal practice of the day was to mount these to the wings, either directly or on struts, the G.I had the engines mounted to the sides of the fuselage on lattices of steel struts. This arrangement added considerable weight to the aircraft and transmitted a lot of vibration to the airframe.

| - El Hansa-Brandenburg G.I fou un bombarder utilitzat per les forces aèries austrohongareses durant la Primera Guerra Mundial. Es tractava d'un bimotor biplà triplaça amb ales esglaonades d'envergadura lleugerament diferent. El pilot i el bombarder seien en una gran cabina oberta a proa, mentre que un artiller seia en un segon habitacle obert en posició dorsal, darrere de les ales. Una característica insòlita era la col·locació dels motors; si bé la pràctica habitual era muntar-los a les ales (directament o amb tirants), el G.I tenia els motors muntats directament als costats del buc mitjançant una xarxa de tirants d'acer. Aquesta disposició va afegir un pes considerable a l'aeronau i transmetia moltes vibracions al cos de l'avió. Al març de 1917 es va lliurar un petit lot de producció inicial de sis avions, però tots es van emmagatzemar a causa d'una disputa contractual entre el fabricant i el Flars (l'arsenal de l'Aviació Imperial i Reial). Quan es van solucionar els problemes, es van reprendre els lliuraments, tot i que es va reduir la mida de la comanda i els bombarders van ser modificats abans de ser enviats a l'aeròdrom de Divača, al front italià. UFAG va construir dotze unitats amb petites diferències respecte als aparells de construcció alemanya. El G.I va acabar formant tres esquadrons més una unitat de reemplaçament, però els informes dels pilots foren desfavorables, sobretot en comparació amb el Gotha G.IV que ja estava en operació. En conseqüència, l'aparell va quedar ràpidament relegat a tasques de formació. Durant els tres mesos que van estar al front, aquests avions només van dur a terme una sortida amb èxit. Alguns I.G també van servir com a avions de prova per al muntatge de canons de gran calibre en avions: amb canons Skoda de 50 mm i de 70 mm a proa i amb canons Skoda de 37 mm en la posició dorsal de l'artiller.

An unusual feature was the placement of the twin tractor engines. While the normal practice of the day was to mount these to the wings, either directly or on struts, the G.I had the engines mounted to the sides of the fuselage on lattices of steel struts. This arrangement added considerable weight to the aircraft and transmitted a lot of vibration to the airframe. A small initial production batch of six aircraft was delivered by March 1917, but were all grounded soon thereafter and put into storage due to a contractual dispute between the manufacturer and (the Imperial and Royal Aviation Arsenal). When this was resolved, deliveries recommenced, although the size of the order was reduced, and the bombers were modified by Flars before being sent to the Divača airfield, on the Italian Front. Twelve aircraft were built by UFAG and differed slightly from the German-built machines. The G.I eventually equipped three squadrons plus a replacement unit, but reports from pilots were unfavourable, especially in comparison to the Gotha G.IV that was becoming available. The Hansa-Brandenburg machine was therefore quickly relegated to training duties. In the three months that these aircraft had been at the front, they had only carried out a single successful sortie. As a footnote to the G.I's military service, the type also served as a testbed in experiments in mounting large-caliber cannon on aircraft; flying with nose-mounted 50 mm (2 in) and (separately) 70 mm (2.75 in) Skoda weapons, and a 37 mm (1.46 in) Skoda cannon mounted in the dorsal gunner's position.
