AEG C.V

The AEG C.V was a prototype two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft that AEG designed for the more powerful 160 kilowatt Mercedes D.IV straight-eight engine, which became available in December 1915. The Inspectorate of Flying Troops ordered prototypes from AEG, Albatros and LVG, and the only C.V was completed in February 1916. It was only slightly faster than the C.IV at 165 kilometres per hour and climbed a little better. No test records survive, but it was not selected for production while the other two competitors were, so further development was cancelled.
