The PZL P.1

The New Revolution in fighter aircraft development.

The prototype from poland PZL P.1 is a radical new construcion.
The patented idea of briliant young inż Zygmunt Puławski to bild an aredynamicly clean airframe with the shock suspensor for the landing gear inside the fuselage to decrase airdrag and the new goll wing wich gives the pilot best posible visibiliti from the cockpit. further incrase in visibily ty is acheved by using an V engine where the pistons are position in such way so they are in visible from the cocpit.
The aircraft is still in prototype stage but alreade it hase strong sopporters in the polish airforce it is belived that this aircraft or its further developed design will replace all of polish figher aircrafts curently in service.
The plane hase full metal construction armed with 2 08/15 machine guns its a first polish figher with a radio.
The curent engine is the reason why the plane isnt put in construcion as polish air ministry is reluctent to use Hispano-Suiza 12Lb engine as it is not in production in poland.The design with aircooled radial engines is curently in development.
