AEG C.V

Overview

The AEG C.V was a prototype two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft built by the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's (Deutsches Heer) Imperial German Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte). Designed to use a more powerful engine than previous AEG C-class reconnaissance aircraft, the aircraft proved inferior to competing prototypes using the same engine and further development was cancelled.
