The AEG PE, factory designation Panzer Einsitzer or armoured one-seater, was a prototype triplane fighter built by AEG for the Imperial German Air Service. It was meant to attack enemy ground-attack aircraft at low level within range of anti-aircraft fire, so its fuselage carried integral armour protecting the pilot, engine and fuel tank. It used a 145 kilowatt Benz Bz.IIIb V8 engine and carried two machine guns. Flight testing began in late 1917 and it reached 4,000 metres in 48 minutes in March 1918, but it was cancelled for poor flight characteristics. Its fuselage design was reused in the DJ.I.
