Design and development

The Thulin L was a two-seat biplane derived from the unsuccessful Thulin E. It differed from the latter in that the wing surface was increased and the float location was made easier. Four production Thulin L floatplanes were ordered July 4, 1916, and they were delivered from November 1916 to March 1917.
