Aichi E8A The Aichi E8A ( also designated Experimental 8 - " Shi " Reconnaissance Seaplane or Aichi AB - 7 ) was a prototype Japan ese reconnaissance floatplane of the 1930s . It was a two - seat single engined biplane built for the Imperial Japanese Navy , but only two were built . Design and development . In 1933 , the Imperial Japanese Navy issued a specification for a replacement for the Nakajima E4N shipboard reconnaissance floatplane . Aichi prepared two designs , the AM - 7 , a low - winged monoplane powered by a Bristol Mercury radial engine and the AB - 7 , a more conventional biplane , powered by a license - built Bristol Jupiter engine . The monoplane design was soon abandoned as its promised performance was little better than that of the aircraft it was meant to replace , but two examples of the AB - 7 were built as the Experimental 8 - " Shi " Reconnaissance Seaplane , or E8A under the Short System designation system . The AB - 7 was a single - bay biplane of wood and metal construction , fitted with a single main float that could be replaced be a wheeled undercarriage for operations from land . Its wings folded to the rear to allow easier storage aboard ship . The pilot sat in an open cockpit while the observers cockpit was part - enclosed to protect him from the environment . The Aichi design was evaluated against competing aircraft from Kawanishi , the E8K , a low - winged monoplane similar to the Aichi AM - 7 , and Nakajima , the biplane E8N . While the E8A had similar performance to the E8N , the Nakajima biplane had superior manoevrability and handling , and was preferred to both the Nakajima and Kawanishi offerings , with over 700 E8Ns built .
