history
There are hardly any documents available about the Pilatus P-1, which began as the first Pilatus project towards the end of October 1940. The construction shows the handwriting of Ing. Henri Fiert, and there is a similarity to the subsequent Pilatus P-2 . It stayed with the project, a prototype was not built.
construction
Single seat training aircraft. Hull made of welded tubular steel, with removable metal sheets at the front, covered with fabric at the rear. Sash: wooden construction with continuous spar, planked with plywood.
Armament
The aircraft should have a machine gun built into the fuselage - with a trajectory through the propeller circle - and two bomb racks for three practice or fragmentation bombs each.
