The experience gained during the design and testing of the aircraft, apparently, was very important and has been used by Albatros, which about this time began designing a twin-engined bomber. Unfortunately, this project does not have complete information. Only drawings preserved showing appearances of the machine side and front. There is also a table with weight loads of a night bomber, also designed by Albatros. Perhaps, in this case we are talking about the same project. With regard to numbering types of aircraft, which were developed by Albatros, then the number L 80 and L 88-L 99 were not known. Perhaps, Albatros NABO had the designation L-80?
With its 690/750-horsepower geared motors BMW VIU night bomber, the company Albatros had to be close in terms of design elements for a night bomber. However, the night bomber was never built, and other features of the project still remains unknown.
