Open in interactive gallery →See aircraft like this on the live radar →

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 Imperial German Air Service. 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.
