The Lloyd C.I was a reconnaissance aircraft produced in Austria-Hungary shortly before and during the First World War and which formed the basis for a number of other closely related types. It was the Lloyd company`s own design, but reflected the DFW designs that Lloyd had previously been building under licence, in particular, in its swept-back, "Pfiel" ("arrow")-style wings. Apart from this feature, it was a conventional biplane design for its day, with staggered wings of unequal span and accommodation for the pilot and observer in tandem, open cockpits. The fuselage was built from welded steel tube, and was covered in fabric. A small load of bombs could be carried internally, to be released by the observer.
