The aircraft was produced in both monoplane and biplane versions, which shared a common fuselage and empennage.

The monoplane version featured wings that were wire-braced to a kingpost on the forward fuselage, and was powered by a 71 kW (90 hp) NAG engine.

Some of the monoplane used as dedicated trainer aircraft also incorporated a reinforcing truss beneath the wings.

The biplane had conventional three-bay wings of unequal span and was powered by a 75 kW (100 hp) Mercedes engine.

They were purchased by both the German military and the British Admiralty, which bought an example for the Royal Naval Air Service.
