Design and development
AEG J.I featured armour protection for the pilot and for the more powerful engine that was fitted to the heavier aircraft. Two Spandau-type machine guns were fitted to the floor of the observer's cockpit for ground targets. One Parabellum machine gun was provided in the typical rear-facing defensive position. Finally, armour plating was added around the engine and cockpits.
The J.Ia version featured aileron controls on the lower wings, in addition to the upper.
