The Eklund TE-1 was a Finnish-built single-seat flying boat of the late 1940s.
Design and development
The TE-1 was designed in late 1948 by Torolf Eklund, who was a Finnish aircraft designer for Valtion Lentokonetehdas between 1935 and 1962. The TE-1 was financed and built by Eklund as a private venture. ==Operational history==
