The Kawanishi E10K, also known as the Kawanishi Type T and the Navy Type 94 Transport Seaplane, was a small Japanese flying boat of the 1930s. It was a single-engined, all-metal biplane that Kawanishi designed against a 1934 Imperial Japanese Navy requirement for a night reconnaissance aircraft able to shadow enemy ships and be catapulted from warships. Its single-bay wings folded backwards for shipboard storage and were based on those of the E7K, with a Nakajima Kotobuki radial engine mounted forward of the top wing. It first flew on 10 September 1934, but water handling and stability problems led the Navy to order the Aichi E10A instead, and the single prototype was converted into a transport.
