PZL Fighter plane design. Poland,
W (according to [2] - in the end) 1936. To work on the perspective
Armed Fighter joined Eng. Kazimierz Korsak and Eng. Tadeusz
Tarczyński . They designed the plane outside the design office of the
State Aviation Works , while performing the duties of deputies of Dr.
Eng. Franciszek Misztal , the designer of the PZL-38 "Wolf" aircraft
program . (According to [3] - the project of an army fighter was
developed in 1936 or 1937).
The proposed fighter, built in a double-beam system with a central
nacelle and a pushing propeller, was to be powered by the PZL "Foka"
engine with an estimated power of 331-368 kW (450-500 HP). The
engine was to be located behind the pilot, thus giving him excellent conditions for observation ahead. In the front part of the hull gondola,
it was planned to place weapons consisting of 1 20mm cannon and 2 machine guns. Two fuselage beams extending from the wings were connected at their ends with a horizontal stabilizer. There were also
vertical stabilizers at the ends of the beams. The undercarriage with
the front wheel was to be completely retracted into the fuselage and
wings.
The fighter design developed by engineers Korsak and Tarczyński
probably had no designation or name. The plane was supposed to complement the PZL-38 "Wilk" fighter and was a competitor of the
PZL-50 "Jastrząb" (according to [3] - this project was considered as
an alternative to the fighter design in the classic design layout, later developed in the PZL-45 "Sokół" ) . The project has not been submitted
for implementation.
