AEG C.I

The AEG C.I was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft built by AEG for the Imperial German Air Service during the First World War. It was a modified B.II with a machine gun for the observer, a more powerful 110 kilowatt Benz six-cylinder piston engine and different wings, and it first flew in 1915. An initial order of six was followed by sixty-four more in four batches. Front-line strength peaked at 34 aircraft in early 1916, after which the type moved to training units. Its top speed was 130 kilometres per hour.
