When the new N-class night bomber class was specified, AEG took a C.IV and lengthened the wings to increase lifting capacity, creating the prototype AEG C.IVn. The wings needed further strengthening, so triangular reinforcing struts were added to the center section, resulting in the production unit, the A.E.G. N.I.
Two separate orders for one hundred aircraft each were placed. Some of the second order may have used the 180hp Argus As.III engine, and it is not known whether the entire second order was fulfilled.
