Product Description
- Polish aircraft designer Zygmunt Puławski, who graduated from the Warsaw Technical University in 1926, developed the P.1 in 1929.
- This was a monoplane fighter with an all-metal airframe and distinctive gull-wing design, which was very advanced for its time.
- The high-set wings gave the pilot good visibility.
- Pulawski developed a further improved version, the P.7, powered by the Jupiter VIIF engine, of which 150 were adopted by the Polish Air Force.
- Later, Plaławski continued to work on improving the P.7. The new aircraft was fitted with a larger, more powerful engine and was designated the P.11.
- The first operational model, the P.11a, was powered by a single 575 horsepower Mercury IV S2 air-cooled engine.
- In Hungary, the Budapest Technical University used the P.11a for towing gliders, and later as a military trainer.
