The Luft-Limousine was designed by Igo Etrich, the builder of the Etrich Taube.[1]
The plane was built in the 'Etrich Fliegerwerke' factory in Liebau (today Lubawka, Poland). It was an aircraft with a cabin for one pilot and a single passenger that was enclosed with wire gauze and celluloid windows, the reason for which Igo Etrich named it Luft-Limousine.[1] The Luft-Limousine was the first military monoplane with an enclosed cabin. It was powered by a 60 hp Austro-Daimler engine.[1]
The maiden flight of this plane took place in Josefstadt, only few kilometres south of Trautenau on 7 May 1912.[2] During World War I the Luft-Limousine was used by the Austro-Hungarian army.[1]
