- High cantilever wing with a swept leading edge and straight trailing edge
- Enclosed cabin ahead of the wing and twin endplate tail fins
A high-wing cantilever monoplane with two pusher engines close to the fuselage, an enclosed cabin for four ahead of the wing and twin endplate fins. It is not a single-seat fighter.

History
Jaroslav Šlechta began development at ČKD in 1935, and the prototype was shown unflown at the Paris Exhibition in November 1936. It first flew on 13 February 1937 with two Walter Minor engines. The tail was later changed from a single fin to twin endplate fins, and the undercarriage to a nosewheel.
Variants
One E-210 was built. After the war a more powerful version, the E-211, was flown, and two were built.
