The Lohner E was a reconnaissance flying boat built in Austria-Hungary during World War I.[2][3] The "E" stood for Igo Etrich, one of the Lohner engineers.[1] It was a conventional design for its day with biplane wings that featured slight sweepback, and an engine mounted pusher-fashion in the interplane gap.[3] Its crew of two was seated in an open cockpit.
